I really hope someone slides the METL for an SF Group HQ under Odie's door this week.

Guess they'll be BROing out at Riley tonight. God speed.
Unrelated, but this comment by Odierno boggles the mind.
“The complexity of the environment that we have to operate in now, and probably the next 10 to 15 to 20 years, we need these headquarters,” he said. “If you ask me one of the stress points in the Army, it’s our headquarters.”
Stress point? A headquarters is a stress point? We are deactivating BCTs left and right but the HQ's are what we need? The only stress for the HQ is the O4's and above stressing about how to get an invite to a foriegn force's bar.
