There was more emphasis on the rehab part, which included party planning on a fairly regular basis for my unit of approx 30 men that I was assigned to. It helped me to get pretty organized with party planning. From choosing the venue, to getting the food catered in (taking in account for special diets), to all of the party supplies and other things like gifts if it was a holiday party, etc. You can imagine that it was pretty exhausting, but also a lot of fun!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #351c75;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Now that I am a mom of small kids, I am party planning again for birthdays.
