Well, as of today, I'm officially a commander. I'm on G-series orders for the summer while part of our unit is deployed.

$2.5M budget? Check!
Already spent? Check!
Absolute power? Check!
Crushing responsibility? Check!
Working all day on a holiday? Check!
Phone updates in the middle of the night? Check!


Should be interesting. . .if anyone's interested, I'll try to share what I can about the exeperience.

I think many of us would be interested. And for the militarily clueless, what is a "G-Series" order?

Noooooo, then you would have to kill us if you accidentally let something slip.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

It is the order that invests someone with all of the legal powers of a commander.

I've been in charge before, when my boss in on leave before, but without the G-series orders, didn't have the legal authority of command.

Pfeh. In the military, depending on which program you're in, $2.5M could be the coffee and doughnut fund.

Actually, that's an interesting question. I can't recommend poison, since it's a quirk of federal law that commanders are personally liable for violations of environmental law, and we wouldn't want to contaminate the water table in your local area.

I'd have to recommend either a mighty hunting kitty, or a dastardly set of live traps.
