PAO winning the war…

We’re not sure who the hell they are are fighting for or with but they sure as hell are wining in their own minds.

Gov PA across the board will always have the legacy of being horrible at their jobs. I think they may be even worse than Finance, and that’s saying a lot.

It doesn't have leaders like MG William Zana...

An Army general’s final ‘walk’ at the Tomb of the Unknowns

MG William Zana, the only guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to reach the rank of general, took a final guard shift on the night he retired.



At exactly 10 p.m. on the warm, last night of May, MG William Zana received his orders and began his final guard shift on the smooth marble stone plaza at the center of Arlington National Cemetery. In two hours it would be midnight, a new day and new month. A new guard would relieve him at his post, he would march off the plaza and suddenly, instantly, be a civilian.

But for the final two hours of his 37-year career, Zana wanted one last chance to stand a shift he had held as a young sergeant: keeping watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 

“I was Pvt. Zana when I showed up to the Old Guard,” Zana told Task & Purpose.“You know, all of us who raise our right hand and serve, there’s things that define you. First combat tour, first loss of personnel. For me, volunteering for and serving at the Tomb was absolutely both defining and shaping.”

I don't know the man, nor do I know much about his career other than what I read in his bio; but based on this article, I have the utmost respect for him!

It’s serious how the members of Old Guard take that duty. I’ve seen several enter the Army warrant community in aviation and they will all tell you their time as a tomb guard was one of the must solemn moments of their lives performing that job.

Bystanders also have no idea who is standing there performing the job because they intentionally don’t wear rank, which permits anybody to include very senior personnel to perform the watch as a Sentinal like the General did.
