This picture is reported to have been taken on Ft. Benning (the home of the Infantry and future home of the Armor). Based on this sign and the one next to it, I assume it is located at the Provost Marshall or Military Police office on base.

I just read an article from the March 2009 edition of USAA magazine entitled Leadership and Laptops.  The BLUF of the responses to the theme coming from COs & PLs is the inordinate amount of time and effort consumed by after action / post patrol reports, all done using MS Powerpoint.

Check out a Op-Ed piece that was published yesterday in the Wa-Po (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/04/14/ST2009041402780.html?sid=ST2009041402780) and read how over 1000 very experienced General and Flag officers have signed onto a letter that was sent to the President requesting him to keep the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy in place.
