It seems like it’s been a long time since I was in charge of anything. It’s been more than a year since I moved into my current job and it’s the longest I’ve been in any job in the Air Force. This week finds me as one of only 2 people in my office (of 6) and also in charge. Mostly it hasn’t required too much extra work from me, but I have had to go to meetings. Today we had a mini-exercise and I was asked to show up as my office’s functional expert. Of course it was a lot more work than promised, but it was interesting. What was weird was representing my office at a wing event and being the guy advising the wing commander. Pretty cool.
One of the guys that outranks me is supposed to return from his deployment this weekend. He’ll probably go on leave when he gets back, but it’s possible that he’ll want to come straight back to work. If so, I’ll be back to 2nd bananna (instead of 5th, so still a move up).
