Larry, this is Fort Benning. It's a training post, which means that when all the roads leading into and out of base, and all the roads on base are solid ice, there's no reason for anyone to come to work who does not need to. Now when I was at Fort Carson, CO, today would have been a regular work day. At best we would not have had to come in until 9:00 AM.
