Ft. Benning Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Michael Ferriter, didn’t spare any words Thursday afternoon, but he did say three key things.
#1
The new Maneuver Center of Excellence slogan, “One force, one fight.“ It’s a fitting description for the consolidation of the Armor School at Fort Knox, Ky., and the Infantry School at Fort Benning, part of the BRAC project.
#2
Ferriter then told the crowd of about 350 that “it’s a great day to be a soldier, any way you look at it.“ And for some in that crowd, like Stephanie Jones, wife of Col. Peter Jones of the now-deployed Third Brigade, a good way to look at it is in the third key statement made by Ferriter during the ceremony…
#3
“It’s the soldier that puts the excellence in the Maneuver Center of Excellence,“ Ferriter said.
Don’t forget that Fort Benning’s Third Brigade is now the most deployed combat brigade in the U.S. Army. The brigade was given a shout-out at various points in the MCOE ceremony. Its own colors cased up a few weeks ago on Kelley Hill, in another symbolic gesture.

Sandy is a sweet and submissive five-year-old shepherd mix in need of a loving home. She has a calm, quiet demeanor and is very loyal if given the chance. She is a little skittish with new people causing her to be frequently passed over. This is nothing a little extra TLC cannot cure. She will need some time and a patient person to allow her to bond and trust. She loves car rides and is very calm indoors. She needs a quiet, child and pet free home. She would be great for a senior or an apartment home. She walks easily on a leash and is housebroken as long as she is let out in time. Sandy is spayed, up to date on flea/heartworm prevention, current on vaccines, and micro-chipped. Her adoption fee is $145.

Where do you fall in the argument of dressing your pet for Halloween? I obviously participate. As you can see, one of Pinot’s costumes is a spider. It’s pretty funny looking. He doesn’t seem to mind. I can tell when he doesn’t appreciate my creativity, like when I bought him a cap and gown for his puppy training class graduation. O.K. So the gown was lined with gold sequins. It was immediately obvious that he didn’t like it and we removed it as soon as we could stop laughing. He’s a good sport and I love him dearly for his patience in humoring me.
your best pet Halloween photo and I’ll post it.

Message from PAWS about this adoptable pet:
Pookie is a strong-yet-sweet year and a half old pit bull terrier mix. She likes to play but needs a little more leash training. If you have the patience in your heart for this little mama, you may want to consider giving her the forever home she deserves. She does not seem to enjoy the company of other dogs, but does like to focus her attention on people. Her adoption fee of $145 includes spay surgery, microchipping, and vaccinations. Remember that with all of our “bully” breeds, a home visit is required prior to and following the adoption.
