I went to the Right Start briefing today. It’s a mandatory briefing that tells you absolutely nothing of importance, and consists almost entirely of powerpoint slides alternately containing common sense and phone numbers you can’t write down fast enough. It’s pointless. The general talked for 80 minutes about nothing. Then the command chief came up and talked a bunch about “putting warheads on terrorist foreheads.” I admire his gung-ho attitude and am simultaneously offended by the blatant propaganda he is throwing at us.
Then the chaplain came up. He starts talking and seems like a good guy. Suddenly it sounds like he blew extra hard into the mike, but we all knew he didn’t. We all freeze in our seats, and the murmuring starts. Then a really loud boom. I felt the concussion in my chest so hard I almost lost my breath. Someone yells for us all to get down.
Five hundred people topple off their chairs like fish out of water, wriggling for a spot on the floor. My head in crammed into somebody’s ass and I’m quite sure somebody’s head is crammed into mine. None of us can breathe and the Chaplain continues his briefing, facedown on the ground, deviating from the powerpoint slides. “You can stop by anytime, not just when you are in a tight spot … “ We all laugh, muffled, because our faces are all crammed into someone else’s ass.
Later we find out it’s a planned controlled detonation that took place on base. Things are still not going smoothly at work. Bad communication leads to hard jobs in the hot sun taking hours longer than they should.
