Help up here on the hill and we lose months. We move loose four, five, six months to hire Replacement Program or we dont have time. So shipbuilding gets held up. Projects get held up. People were tired and that loses that trust with the industry. So precluding getting sequestered as helpful and in the continuing resolutions having a similar effect in that we are not doing any new projects and some of these are pretty critical as we move into the years and need to modernize. Senator the first comment i would make is over the last two years where above the level of sequestration and the army was only 33 ready. And so yes flexibility will give us the ability to manage insufficient funds in our department but thats all it does. It allows us to better manage because today we extend our aviation programs so the cost for every apache has gone up to the cost for every ua 60 has gone up.

April wants to respond as well. The wonderful students at Howard University in telecom . Im a sociology major. A journalism major. Nonetheless and this is my personal opinion if you have a blog podcast, you have a role on social media and have a responsibility. You have a responsibility to tell the truth. As someone who has gone through Howard University, you have a responsibility to tell the truth and get it out there accurately. There are so many people not telling the truth, not telling the story correctly, particularly, telling the story about our community that is not about our community. You have a responsibility. I challenge anyone out there who gets a blog, any kind of twitter page whatever, go out there and be responsible until the truth. Find out the facts. Everybody can be a journalist now, and that is a big problem. Theres a lot of responsibility in being a journalist. Thank you, april. My name is caleb jackson, im 19 years old.

It was a really unusual experience where weve been on the other side of the gift giving in the past. And we had to work through recreating our physical lives. I think we all learned that stuff doesnt really matter, that its really all about people. It was an incredible lesson. Not that id ever recommend it to anybody, but it was an incredible life lesson. You were a single mother but what was the impact on a teenager with that fire and what would be the impact on an adult . What would be the difference . Yeah, well. Stress has a greater impact on teenagers and that is one of many topics we talk about in the book. You know, they are surprisingly vulnerable to things that we might think, oh, theyre just resili
