Sgt Hook is PCSing

For those of you not familiar with the acronym heavy military PCS is Permanent Change of Stations…it’s what you do when you move to a new unit and typically a new duty station/post. What follows is part of the conversation that took place in the Hook household recently:

"While working in the garage, stacking boxes, organizing tools and toys, Andrew the Adventurous pops in.

AA: Dad, are we moving because of your promotion to Command Sergeant Major?

Hook: Well, yes, I guess that’s correct.

AA: OK dad, can you retire then after we move?

Hook: blink, blink, blink

AA: Dad?

Hook: Do you want me to retire?

AA: Yes.

Hook: Why? Are you tired of moving?

AA: No, its not that, I just don’t want you to go to war again.

Hook: blink, blink, blink

Stay tuned for my next installment of the PCS move. Sgt Hook out."

Well if its any consolation we don’t want you to go to war again either, but we all know that when duty calls you step up to the plate, and I for one am glad that there are still men and women in our country ready to do just that. My hats off to you CSM, I’ll see you on some distant battlefield some day I’m sure.
