I was wondering if they would come, glad to see them here. They made the 6 o'clock news last night on local TV. Glad to give, I may go out and see the operation first hand if they're still here this weekend. Great program !!

Deploying with them has so many benefits. Aside from the obvious, you meet wonderful people. In my two one week deployments a few years ago, I never knew from one day to the next whether I'd be working alongside a relative newbie like myself, a highly experienced and knowledgeable cook (like RonB whom I worked with a couple of days) or even a veteran of opening a highly successful chain of barbecue joints. All shared info freely, so it was like an intensive hands-on school.
