Well the Marines have finally given us a hard date for Rob's deployment; Nov 1. A little late in the game, but still nice to know anyway. In addition they are keeping us warm at night with a new false hope. The new words of wisdom from above:
If the deployment gets delayed for some reason and has not taken off by 15 November, the deployment will be permanently cancelled.
Their reasoning being that deploying any later than 15 Nov will not be worth the time it takes to get spun up and then transition for the new team that replaces them in March.
Now, call me crazy, but if we're at a point where 15 days is going to make or break the entire functionality of the deployment... have we MAYBE not thought the whole deployment through in the first place? I would assume (because this is what I was told) that the only reason they are even calling these guys in at the eleventh hour is because the Marines can't function with the team they already deployed.
So imagine my surprise to find out that not only could the current team survive without them... but the new guys will be just another 15 mouths to feed if they can't show up before 15 November.
I'm really glad our nation isn't run by complete idiots.
