Welcome to Duffel Blog presents, an every once-in-a-while feature where we share inside looks into the military. Today, we're presenting the minutes from this week's family readiness group meeting.

SHARON: Hi, everyone, and thanks for making it out to the Family Readiness Group’s meeting for the month of January. Before we get started, please give a warm welcome to our newest, full-fledged member, fresh off probation, Angel. Remember, Angel’s spouse is an O-4, so please be sure to give him the respect his rank commands.

Lackluster applause from everyone.

SHARON: Angel also opened up a shop on Etsy selling tchotchkes, so make sure to spread the word! Now, let’s get started. Audi, would you like to lead us off?

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
