In my last post I said I was busy & that was 2 weeks ago...
Last week I had 2 general officers come visit, both from Marine Forces Europe.  So that's what consumed my hours & days, going to meetings at the embassy and answering emails & phone calls about read-ahead materials, providing biographies of the US staff here and the Georgians.  And approving a seating chart for the lunch in the chow hall on Saturday.  Yeah...good times...  But the visits went well and the generals were pleased, so I keep my job for now.

Last weekend (St Patty's Day) I went to a Georgia vs. Russia rugby game.  We got tickets through the embassy, third row on the center line.  They would have been great seats except it was windy and cold and the seats were hollow plastic so it felt like sitting on a block of ice.  But the game was great, Georgia stomped on Russia, 42-0.  Georgia is in white, they had a giant player who looked like Troy Palomalu from the Steelers.  Then we went to an Irish bar for shepard's pie and Guinness.

So this week I get to focus back on training with one battalion here and one at another nearby base.  Marksmanship training, land navigation, staff planning, communications.  All good stuff.  Sometime late next week I'm supposed to receive more MRAPs for driver training and IED training. 
OK, that's it.
