Joshua Mordecai Freeman (RIP)
We should all be so blessed to have even one friend that we can remember with such stories. Thanks, Tress, for sharing him with us.
Dang hard voting, though. There's stuff hereabouts for another Halberstadt-like anthology.

I think any story, that involves alcohol can not be posted in 'first person'.
"Once while out drinking we,...." - is not acceptable, and will not be considered, however. "Upon returning to the Team Rm, SFC _(Chris)_, and Msg _(Jake)_were dancing with two local gals, alcohol was present, while CPT _(Joe)_ was wearing a pair of....." would be.

Tress,
I humbly acquiesce to your victory and my defeat.
The better story prevailed but, there is always next time…..

Thanks,
But to be honest with you I really liked yours and thought that it should win. It took some balls for your medic to get up in front of some LTC that he did not know and break the ice with a joke like that. If I didn't know any better I would say that I know that medic, but the one that I am thinking of was in 10th SFG.
As for those who found my story enjoyable, I say "Thank-you." Now just PM me your bank account numbers and I will transfer the $20 that I promised for your vote.
RL,
Take your time. I am actually hoping that you may forget about this and are then, at a much later date, forced to send me one of those fabulous additional prizes that "Pete" speaks so adoringly about.  PM inbound.
Tress

I just cannot figure out the math on this. I recieved only 15 votes, yet I have already received 35 PM's with banking information. I am throwing the bullshit flag!

Too bad,
I was thinking of sending you one a well. Suspect I'd never get away with it now...... 
Of course, in this economy, one does what he can......

LOL I seem to recall someone posting a formula for the BBOI (beer basis of issue) to the effect:
2 beers/man x 1 12-man ODA = 17 cases of beer.
I'm not surprised at all.
Congrats sir!
