Tomorrow is my scheduled Yellow Ribbon day of briefings. My briefing is at Lincoln High School in Northeast Philadelphia. I will see some members of my unit, but the soldiers who attend these are whoever happened to sign up. So there will be soldiers from any unit that returned from deployment within the last several months. The whole day is supposed to be about making sure we get all of our benefits. Since I have a job and medical benefits most of the info will not be for me. But it will be interesting to see just what they think will be important for us to know.
More tomorrow. . .

Hint on the briefing...a lot of it is kind of like watching a cheesy high school anti-sex/anti-drinking/anti-drugs skit. Write about it and tell us how it goes!
