The summer is over, fall has arrived and I think to myself WOW what a summer! I’m not going to wine about how fast it went or about not getting anything done. I know where it went and it was awesome! I thought I'd share one of my adventures this summer.
One day in late April I received an e-mail from the CEO of the Associated Builders and Contractors of Iowa, of which I am a board member. It read: "The Executive Director of the Iowa Chapter of Employer Support for the Guard & Reserve has made available to our chapter a seat on a BOSS Lift June 10th to Camp McCoy in Wisconsin. One of those big helicopters (at this point in the letter I hit reply and said I’d take it) that transports troops will leave Camp Dodge early the morning of June 10th and will return that evening. A group of Iowa guardsmen will be training for deployment at Ft. McCoy and so you will be getting the opportunity to observe their training exercises that day. There is just one seat available and you must have signed a Statement of Support (SOS) with ESGR to participate. Again, there is just one seat available and it will be awarded on a first-come/first-served basis.”
