Kane's Disciples Gets a New Leader

Yesterday was a day that put Kane's Disciples to the test. That's our team name. We named ourselves after our combat arms Army E-8 that was on our team. He has always pushed us beyond our limits, but in a very subtle way. He was what was called a bench guy which means he was waiting for a team to pick him up for either Iraq or Afghanistan. He got picked up last week so he took some leave to go see his family before he starts this all over with his new class. The Army has a weird way of doing things. Now that you understand our name on to the story.
Our leader was having a rough time despite some heart to heart talks by several people including me. Things went from bad to worse with an incident that had to be investigated. So the Lt Col from our Air Force team called an emergency team meeting and had to make a change. We now have a captain from the other team as our team leader for the remaining two weeks. Anytime you bring a new person into a group that has reached the level of cohesion we have it could mean trouble. Fortunately for me I am surrounded by professionals that want to do the best job they can and the captain has a very good attitude about the switch, so I think we'll be alright. I think the Army plans these things on purpose. I have been pushed to my limits in so many areas since I have been here. And I thought I was getting a break from pharmacy drama. Silly me. I can only imagine how things will be in Afghanistan, but I hope I am prepared. Thirteen days of training left and it's on to the show.
