It's Christmas time so Dasher leads paratroopers to the DZ

"Everybody knows that Santa is a paratrooper"

"12/22/2009 - POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. (AFNS) -- You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen. But on Dec. 6 at Pope Air Force Base, it was not a team of reindeer, but Maj. Jeff Dasher, a navigator in the 95th Airlift Squadron who guided the mission for the 440th Airlift Wing's C-130 Hercules that flew a group of Soldier Santas across the morning sky.

One might say he was born for this mission.

"It's the name," Major Dasher chuckled. "I had to be on this flight." .........."

Since he wears a red hat, I suspect that Santa is actually a support guy. Afterall, he speaks all the languages of the world, carries a TON of junk, and Rudolph's red nose...man, that's gotta be some whizz bang SOT-A gear.

He does have the best hide site in the world.
