Here, people were standing for a benediction . . . a hope that the merger will be less hostile than the proceedings thus far
Today marked the end of an era in the Navy . . . .
The dental healthcare providers have been merged with the medical healthcare providers
On paper it looks like a good idea and seems to make sense
In reality, it's more like a hostile takeover
The Dental Corps, which was established in 1948, was ceremoniously dis-established as of 11:45 this morning
There was great pomp and circumstance . . and quite a few heavy hearts
Not to mention a lot of scared rabbits (no one knows who is leaving next . . .)
The event had big military names to shepherd the event
the picture below shows the pomp as best I could . . . . hand held at one second over my head . . it's decidedly outa focus =]
