Last night, we had a Civil Air Patrol meeting to plan for the Veteran’s Cemetery “Wreaths Across America” ceremony for this morning. The general plan of distribution and crowd control was laid out, with several solutions to various DefCon 4 wreath mayhem and crowd scenarios taking up several hours of discussion. People were assigned duties.
I, being a no-talker, volunteered for nothing. This means I was volunteered anyway, and that’s how I found myself assigned to distributing and dealing with all the handheld radios.
“Julie, you’ll be the Comm Specialist.”
“Oh. OK.” I paused. “Someone will show me how to use the radios, won’t they?”
Later, as we were driving back, Mark found fitting to joke about the scenario.
“Great. We have a Communications Specialist who doesn’t talk.”
That seemed an unnecessary comment.
If we could text, I’d be OK. I’m better on paper.

I’m glad you were volunteered, Julie.
