Christmas Thoughts and What Not

[Surgicalcric]

To all my Brothers and Sisters, both forward deployed and here at home. Stay safe, Merry Christmas, and God Bless. May God bring you peace and happiness in knowing you are doing whats right regardless of the left.

Thankful to be a soldier.

Or worthy of a BTB to all our service friends around the word.

While service members miss most of the important events of a family and holidays during a given year I think it's Christmas that tugs on the heart the most.

In my day in the barracks the duty rooster was adjusted at Christmas time. The barracks rats who didn't blow out of town pulled duty on the Christmas Holiday while the married guys pulled it on New Years. Seemed to work well.

I ate many a holiday meal in the Mess Hall, excuse me, Dining Facility, and my hat is off to all those who work there for giving the service member a taste of home during the Holidays.

There are a lot of hard jobs in the Army behind the tip of the spear. All need doing, and doing well.

Amen Brother. I remember the same things (with varying degrees of fondness) and could not have said it better. Peregrino
