[Captain Lee Bishop]

Thanks! I guess my first official duty will be to pull out the troop roster and see who's under my "command," and finding a good First Sergeant.

[Captain Lee Bishop]

We finally had the official transfer of the troop guidon this morning at the Black River Regulators shoow in Little Rock, WA. I guess this counts as my very first "official" anything with GAF in person (but it won't be the last):

 It was a wonderful ceremony and the weather even cooperated! I don't have any fancy uniforms any more but I told the Captain I'd be interested as a scout and will likely be working on some Berdan's sharpshooter kit in the near future. As you can see we're going to need some enlisted types here. BB

Naturally, you wouldn't have seen me otherwise. Haven't you heard, I'm solar powered!
