I arrived at the Navy Strike Cell this morning and completed all of checks to ensure we had closed out our part of CWID. Once that was done we said our goodbyes and most everyone left. I remained for the hotwash which was actually pretty good. Seems most all of the sites had the same complaints/problems I had and I think things will be better next year.

I did receive some good news though. The results of the NAVSEA detailing board were released and I was selected for command of a unit in Houston. The billet is scheduled to be deleted after a year but that should free me up to have another command tour should the good Lord and the folks at NAVSEA see fit to give me that privilege again.

Once that was over, I took a drive down to Richmond to catch my plane. I had a little time on my hands so I thought I run by Circuit city. That is when I learned that TomTom maps are not always 100% accurate. I selected Points of Interest near me, picked the Circuit City and then navigated my way over. Only thing is there was no Circuit City. In fact, it didn’t look there had been one there in the recent past. So on to the airport.

Checking in was easy—I had already checked in on-line but needed to print boarding passes given I didn’t have a printer with me. I slipped a Pepsi in my computer bag on the way out of the BOQ room and meant to drink it on the way to Richmond but I forgot about it. Well, what I forgot TSA remembered. They pulled it out of my bag and tossed it in the trash. I felt so much safer knowing they were on the job and I was flying on a plane with one less dangerous Pepsi Cola in the plane. I wonder; would they have done that if it had been a Coke instead?
