So today I had to go to a conference up in Louisville, and it was a much bigger deal than I'd known. There were people there from all the armed services, not just Army. There were people from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, a good many staff members of several Congressmen, and several staff members from a few Senators. My voice is still crap!! I had to do three break out sessions and for the most part, had to have people repeat everything I said because no one could hear me! This was so frustrating!
