Job Change

So I originally wrote that I was going to be a watch officer in the Joint Operations Center.  Well, the plan changed this last week.  I'm now going to be a Country Desk Officer (what I was told I was going to be doing before I arrived in Africa), replacing another fellow who is leaving this coming week.  We started our turnover the day before Thanksgiving.  For the countries I'm assigned to I will be coordinating all travel and operations there.  I will be working with people at the U.S. Embassies in those countries to obtain clearances as well as brief the HOA commander on the status of operations each week.  It should be more interesting than the watch.
