A JOTW and DEFCON -1 “Can't Wait Posting from Textron

***  I am in Frankfurt, at the airport (I was unable to talk my way into the Lufthansa Business Class Lounge).  Lufthansa is the one airline where its employees are so sure about everything, especially when they are wrong.

I do not expect to get home in time to post your Monday JOTW newsletter today.  Ulike Lufthansa, I will not commit to something I don't know for sure.  Maybe tomorrows.  Perhaps.

***  A “Can't Wait” posting from Carolyn Rose at Textron:

JOTW and DEFCON -1 “Can't Wait” announcement on the 2008 SemperComm
Award

Here's FLASH traffic from Alix Anne Hornig at the SemperComm Foundation:

Hi Ned,

Have a “can't wait” item I was hoping you might be able to send out this
week to both DEFCON and JOTW.

Hoping you can help us get the word out about the 2008 SemperComm Award
program as we'd love to receive several more entries before judging
begins in March.  Thanks very much! **Anyone can submit a nomination and
all entries are due by Friday, February 29, 2008.

The SemperComm Award is given each year to nominated active-duty
military personnel who go above and beyond the call of duty to help
motivate, entertain and otherwise lift the spirits of their fellow
service members.

The SemperComm Foundation works to boost morale of our men and women
deployed to remote locations around the world, but we recognize that
there are a significant number of overseas remote bases that we can not
reach right away.  While we hope to eventually reach out to all isolated
bases, the SemperComm Award is designed to recognize and honor service
members who are making personal contributions to boost the morale of
fellow men and women.

Service personnel from each military branch, including the Coast Guard,
combatant command and field commands can be nominated for this award. 

SemperComm will choose up to three awardees to be honored at our annual
Gala, set for May 22, 2008.  Winners will be determined based on three
criteria: actions taken to boost the morale of fellow service members,
the remoteness of the base where they are stationed, and their desire to
go above and beyond the call of duty.

Visit http://www.sempercommgala.org to learn more about our 2008
SemperComm Gala and to access an entry form for this year's SemperComm
Award.
