Wish we could do more. We ask that you please be patient and polite while we work to adapt and overcome any technical issues that might arise. We’re asking that you log-in between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm Central Standard Time with the on-line chat going live at 6:00 pm CST.

We’re predicting a very large turnout which may cause internet connectivity issues, so again, please be patient, polite, and courteous throughout the entire meeting. Thank you for coming and enjoy the meeting. Your Soldiers are NOT attending this meeting, nor will they see it. Its main purpose is to allow command to better inform you of upcoming key events and to answer any questions you may have regarding them. Once you insert the naming scheme stated above and click the “Enter Room” button you will have to wait for the online administrator to accept you into the room. .
