We were now Forty-Eight and had filled all the rooms available so until people left, or the building was expanded we would grow no more.

Ok people uniform for Mrs. Ruths Meeting will be “The Platoon” Orange Work Polo, Black Pants, Safety Shoes. See you all at 1700 hours in the Breakfast Room.

1645 Breakfast Room Marcus

As I arrived, Jeff came to me and reported that everyone was present and accounted for. I saw that Brenda Stewart was also present, but I did not ask her why. I know we would be told of her position with “The Platoon”

At 1655 Raleigh, Mrs. Ruth, and Kariwase Nations entered the room in that order. Brenda called out Commanding Officer on Deck and everyone came to attention. Colonel Kariwase Nations said take your seat.

Kariwase

We have Eight days before our guests for The Wappinger Nation Americas Leaders of Tomorrow Forum and Twelve days to the Presidential visit. You asked for this and now you will make it happen or fail. Mrs. Ruth will be The Wappinger Nation OIC for both events.

I will be the Platoon Mother for The Wappinger Nation Americas Leaders of Tomorrow Forum and The Wappinger Nation First Lady for the Presidential visit. I will be assisted in my Platoon Mother duties by Master Sargent Breada Stewart USMC/WNM. She is now appointed First Sargent of “The Platoon.” She takes orders from me, Only! If you have a personal problem see me, my door is open. If you have a “Platoon” problem, see her first. That is from Marcus on down. This is not just for these events but until you leave “The Platoon” if you have a personal problem, please as your mother, come and talk with me. Gentlemen if you feel you need to talk to a man please see Simon, especially if it is about one of the ladies. He has agreed to speak with you in confidence as long as it is not about violation of the house rules that happened. Because if it happened someone did not take the right precautions or do the right thing before the incident happened.

Mrs. Ruth, they are all yours.

Mrs. Ruth

I will start with, you all, have read The Longhouse Rules and the consequences of breaking them. You have agreed to abide by them, ensure you do. Police, guide, and help each other to obey them in the spirit not just the letter of the law. Enough Said.

As was noted earlier, today we have used all the rooms available in the section of the building reserved for you young people. We will not be creating more rooms. The current roster of “The Platoon” is set until someone leaves it and vacates their room and position.

Transportation rearrangements: We will continue with single gender vehicle travel unless it is on One of the Two Touring Coach Buses that Currahee Nations has order for us so we can travel as a family.
