I want to start with a simple there must be "someone in charge" you need to only to look at what happened today at Torontos Airport today.

Shows the value of wearing a "seat belt" wherever you find them.

M-10 BOOKER update: Currently conducting Winter Trials. Also to tighten the START recommend AUG 2025 based on the following quote.
"The Army plans to field 14 M10 Bookers per IBCT, with the 82nd Airborne Division receiving the first units by late FY2025"

The conservative dates since the above doesn't say how many they'll get would be DEC 2025/JAN 2026 to ENSURE at least one maybe two ICBT's are FULLY equipped.

Also, this will provide a certain amount of flexibility if the remaining tests should uncover anything unforeseen.

I've been told by several of my co-workers (Source our TRNG LT.) that since we started our new physical standards testing of which I do the 2-mile walk (There is a 1.5 mile run in 16'30".)(Only as we are closely monitored.) in 32' minutes or less I hold the two fastest times since we've started. 27' flat NOV. 23 and 26'37" MAR. 24. That's 4.5mph+.

My goal is in the morning is 26' flat. It'll be cold that's a plus. Someone I went back out to help on the course last year to make sure he finished the last +1/4 (He wouldn't make it otherwise when we checked his interval time.) will be going out with me again tomorrow.

Sad thing is I'll be 67 in June and I'm doing this against co-workers that in some cases are over 40 years younger-how can that be!?!

Then to work later in the day.

Yes, I'm mentally preparing myself and bottom-line JUST better than last year wouldn't be so bad either.

Time to relax.

Regards,
Pat
