Mario was asked to accompany two Generals to Sedona yesterday. The reason...one spoke Spanish (from Peru) and the other only spoke English. Mario was asked to translate. Mario's Colonel asked him to go on the trip last week because he thought it would be good face time with the General right before Mario's LtC boards this year. Mario has never translated like that before so he has been stressed all week. He even got a huge cold sore from the stress. I knew that he would do great...and he did. He loved Sedona. Unfortunately he was deployed last year when we went with Melissa and her kids. The General apparently has a large entertaining fund so he took them all on a 4X4 jeep tour and then took them to a very nice restaurant for dinner. Mario got about 18 hours of face time with the General yesterday so hopefully that will help him on the boards.

That is pretty awesome for Mario and he had a good time doing it.
Sounds like a great day and opportunity for Mario.
