 The airport. If a PCS has ever sent you through one, you know the feeling. The hurry up and get there, the long lines, and of course, the luggage. But if you look close, you may come across three letters that shine like a beacon to the travel weary service member. Amid the flurry of airport life, the USO lounge is an oasis of R&R, available exclusively to current and retired members of the military and their families. Many, like the one at Baltimore Washington International Airport, are staffed with volunteers eager to help ease the burden of the military member on the road. You feel like you're helping the military, men and women and their families. Give a little comfort, a little home away from home when they're traveling. So it gives us a lot of pleasure to be there for them. For all hands update at the intersection of peace and quiet, I'm Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike Jones.
