The China Pearl Inn part 9

Good day all!

Very glad to hear everyone is doing their utmost to keep GG and her cub safe and sound. (I suspect they put you behind a desk, because everyone knows that a protective mother is the fiercest creature on the planet. They are safeguarding the French!)

Good to see you all! xoxo
 
Well our new recruits, our bright young things, really thought they would enjoy their weekend in Spain and the exercises would start Monday. But in reality the enemy doesn’t respect weekends so neither can we in NRR. They were shocked when they received the ‘hostage alert call’ at 1100 hours and called to call mobilisation. But I’m pleased to that so far say it seems we made the right choices in our selection. Let’s see how they cope with an ‘all nighter’. Seems odd planning our response from an office - I long to be out there with them. Know what I mean CG?

Glad to know you are following orders and staying in your chair. I was afraid we would have to send Chris down there to 'invent' a way to keep you in it. :rolleyes:

That is great that the newbees are fitting in with the rest. :)
 
G G I can just see you chaffing at the bit as you set in the command center directing things from a far.


You have trained your team well now it is time to let your chicks fly G G. And Yes I know it is hard but soon we all have to make that hard transition from field to OPS or Staff. By the way give me OPS every time my personality does not lend its self to the politics of Staff work. :eek:


Moring L F what is the weather report for New England?


S F I see that Chris stopped by for a bit.
 
S F some days are slower than others. I often see only a couple of post a day to the Inn when I am online.
 
It’s a completely different life directing operations from the nerve centre but I’ve had a phone call from the CO saying I’ve got it right. I do envy the boys and girls with their ‘boots on the ground’ but I reassure myself I’ll be with them this time next year!

Our new recruits are an amazing addiction and the American girls HSG chose for their engineering skills are going to be like gold dust. Others will want them but they are ours! So I say to the Rhinos ‘HANDS OFF! We got them first!’

Sorry CG & SF we’ve been quiet but it’s been a challenge. Robyn & Sal are setting off for OTS tomorrow so Thayer busy. In 12 months they will be officers! And in 5 years I’ll be calling Robyn ‘Ma’m’. She’s brilliant!

Ok, time to assess the situation and give orders for the next phase of our operation. See you all soon.
 
It is different in Ops but can be exciting as well. It is like putting a puzzle together G G and seeing the picture before you have all the pieces. And you have to make some tough calls. As we say Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and remain Highly flexible in between. ;)
 
Hey CG I’m sorry I haven’t posted in Tudor Rose yet, I’m on manoeuvres in Spain and it’s been tough. Lt GG is in control of the response to ‘the attack’, she’s fair but totally in control. I’ll report back
 
Keep your head and that pretty little butt of yours down rose.;) The lieutenant has it well in hand she won't let you down.;)
 
Sorry guys, the weekends are often very busy for me. I’m traveling to and from school which takes many hours with spotty internet connection at best. I will be around more this week though. This weekend someone special is coming for a visit, and I’m ever so excited.
 
Place is still empty.

:Heads for the chair by the fireplace, pulls up blanket:

Night all. :)

Sorry SF, most of the girls are on this exercise while Robyn & Sal are getting set to begin their final OTS year. Meanwhile I’m learning to direct operations which is a new experience for me. I prefer to be on the ground.

Shiva, I’m home this coming weekend too and Rick will have returned from Washington so I’m excited too.

Thanks for your confidence in me CG. So far I’m winning!
 
Well done G G. :kiss:

So you and Shiva are giddy as teenaged girls because someone special is coming. :devil:ish :D


S F I am on during the day and you seem to be on at night.
 
Not complaining, just commenting. :)


Sometimes it is quiet in here, sometimes it gets quite busy. I am on all sorts of weird hours. I don't sit around waiting for someone to show, you know. I just pop in and out.

Shiva, have fun with your guest.

GG, you seem to be double winning...your field work and Rick coming home for a bit. :)

CG, you get up WAY too early and I stay up WAY too late.!!!:D

*wanders in, takes off his trousers grabs the teapot and flops down in the comfy chair in the sunbeam*

Hi

HI CG! just for clarity I don't think that is the same someone ;)

You two make me laugh!

And I’ve got news. One of my nurses wants to join Lit. ... So SF there will be YET ANOTHER military nurse in the inn. The place will be swarming with us! Lol.

Oh I am quite sure Badger that it is not the same someone. ;)


S F it is true I am an early riser and you my dear are a night owl.

G G another serving nurse is always welcome here at the Inn. You know I do need a lot of TLC! :devil:ish :D
 
Well only in the "Wind in The willows" stories of Mr. Todd's adventures S F. That distinguished Badger wore pants and a vest to boot as did his friend Molely. ;)
