Daily life
Life in Biloxi is pretty sane. The population has swollen with people that are part of the recovery effort. Roads and restaurants are always crowded.
I am in a relatively small unit. There are maybe 50 Long Term Recovery Staff people and these are the folks I see most often. Maybe half or fewer of those are planners.
I am not sure how many more planners there are in other parts of recovery. All the units (e.g. assistance for individuals, assistance for municipalities, debris removal) operate independently. When I am at federal headquarters (the joint field office) I see these units either working or going for training, but I don't interact with them so I can not comment how they work.
One of the few units I have interacted with are the trainers (diversity, Equal Opportunity Office, ethics, orientation, sexual harassment) who seem professional and organized. Some are retired and come back when needed and others are still active.
The other unit I have interacted with is the TAC coordinators (sorry I don't know what the acronym means). They are responsible for processing all the paperwork and HR activities. Most of them are working for a consultant as well and process the multiple forms I need to turn in every week.

Well, everyone knows that ANZUS refers to the Australia-New Zealand-United States treaty of course, in which the US pledges no torture will be used in the questioning of koalas, kangaroos or dingos, unless deemed necessary to avert an impending terrorist attack or to root out weapons of mass destruction.
As for Mel, he was the cook on Alice -- heavyset, bald, big voice. Known to blurt out "Pick-up!"
