Yesterday was (finally) my last day working at the AUSA Conference in DC. And I cannot tell you what a relief that it is over. The AUSA Conference is quite a production and I’m not sure if I’ll ever see such a huge conference ever again.
I worked at the Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) booth for the U.S. Army. M&RA implements many programs for the Army community that center on soldier well-being. It was nice to see a few clients from previous projects I’ve worked on such as Army Diversity and the SHARP program.
It was also nice being able to meet up with my dad at the conference, Colonel Eddie Rosado. Of course when we walked around I had zero idea of what he was talking to people about at the various booths. But it was an experience all the same.
Yesterday I had the privilege to disassemble two of our smaller booths for the U.S. Army Chaplains Corp and Retirement Services Office (RSO). I definitely was able to skip my daily workout after disassembly I can tell you that.
I definitely have a newer found appreciation for the all of the labor unions that build this small city called the AUSA Conference in 3 days and all of the company employees that come out and sell the heck out of their products all day long. You people are a better man than I! Viva la AUSA!
