^^^^^ I agree as well. Since it occurs at the beginning of the show I didn't give it much thought. It was when I saw it the second time that I realized how the beginning conversation would've played out somewhere beyond the end of the show. As others said, josh was killed during the third tour so it had to be Beth speaking.
I was another person who loved it! Cast was terrific and it wasn't hard to follow at all. Cast recording is wonderful as well. I found that at this point in my life I definitely related to thinking about life choices.
Mjohnson2 thanks for the laugh! OP personally I'd dress nicely, but I'd always rather be overdressed than underdressed. I've worn a nice dress or pants there before and been fine.
