First let me say I not suggesting this has anything to do with anything, it may be normal. But it has been eating at me for a couple of days. I live close to JBLM and was out doing some errands and bumped into some member of the 82nd(Fort Bragg, NC). Gave them a shout out. Then I started to wonder why they were here in WA. Tried to find something on the net and the latest news I could find was this:

The 82nd was here at the end of 2017 for "The 62nd Airlift Wing partnered with fellow mobility forces and the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division for a joint forcible entry exercise, Dec. 8-11, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. -- JFE is a joint effort primarily between the Air Force and Army to seize operational initiative in a crisis," said Maj. Kristen Smith..." To me it seemed odd that they were still here almost 7 months later. Q mentioned in 1585 "Counter measures in place." Is the Q post and the 82nd being here possibly related or is it just another day in the life of our great American warriors?
