Gen'ral, sir, (Brvt) Lt Col SH strong should be corrected to (Brvt) Lt Col GW Strong, sir.

Pitspitr · February 04, 2015, 04:11:41 PM

Correct you are! My fingers didn't know the difference.

Corrected

Delmonico · February 04, 2015, 04:34:57 PM

Thank you Sir.

Drydock · February 04, 2015, 04:57:52 PM

At Last! I have a key to the Brigade whisk, ah, medicine locker!

Niederlander · February 04, 2015, 05:12:33 PM

Alas! I'm a career "Staff Weenie"! On the other hand, being the Quartermaster, I have access to the supply of "Apple Pie"!

Quick Fire · February 04, 2015, 05:57:08 PM

Niederlander, I'm thinking you all need an aide.

Niederlander · February 04, 2015, 06:23:03 PM

One always needs help with the Apple Pie!

Pitspitr · February 04, 2015, 09:14:42 PM

Quartermaster, I may want to "loan" you my orderly. He has a good 'pie recipe.

Niederlander · February 04, 2015, 09:39:39 PM

I've got Stu's recipe, but I have to tame it down by using vodka. But at least you can stand up reliably when you have my version!

Sagebrush Burns · February 04, 2015, 09:45:31 PM

It is an honor to serve with such a sterling group.

Gripmaker · February 06, 2015, 10:44:42 PM

HOLD ON THERE BOYS!! Was it not the Chaplain's responsibility to determine when and if "spirit-ual" medication was to be administered? With all this wild talk, it may be time to change the lock on the medicine locker. However, I need an honest and stalwart volunteer for this mission. Any takers? (This should be interesting.)

Looking after the well-being of the troops,
LTC Montgomery Little, Senior Chaplain, GAF

Drydock · February 07, 2015, 06:20:45 AM

Don't let the Chaplain see the ducks . . .

G.W. Strong · February 07, 2015, 08:00:15 AM

I am pleased to serve with such ~~a questionable bunch of reprobates~~ an honorable staff

No it is the Chaplains responsibility to make sure the apricot cobbler gets covered when a bad storm is approaching.

pony express · February 07, 2015, 08:33:58 AM

That is a very important job, which was sadly neglected last year. Apricot cobbler soup as leftovers just isn't the same.

Texas Lawdog · February 07, 2015, 08:48:42 AM

Anything with apricots can't be all bad!

pony express · February 07, 2015, 10:06:55 AM

Was pretty funny in a way, amid all the "devastation" things blown around, fly blown down, etc......the first thing everyone noticed as they came to the fire the next morning was the ruined apricot cobbler.

I had the same thought. We should have been worrying about our guns getting rusty and our leather gear getting moldy but we were all worried about the cobbler.
