and All the Ships at Sea!
So now, Annual Training for Sarge and the boys of Kentucky is winding down into Recovery: that means, vehicles get washed/serviced/packed; weapons get their final servicing; laptops and other equipment gets put away; and the command group does a great deal of navel-gazing as the results of the exercise is evaluated.
Tomorrow, after the packing and re-packing, there will be "Unit Morale Operations" conducted at the local picnic pavillion, replete with BBQ and beer.
Saturday starts the road march home, and then Sarge turns back into Mister once again.
So, I need the following statement be made to the members, past and present, of the FReeper Canteen:
These last few months have seen my heavy use of the Canteen for its home-away-from-home mission, and in that guise, y'all have done yeoman's work. From the phone calls, to the care packages, to the cards and letters, to the virtual dance parties, the Canteen has been a source of joy, strength, and fellowship for at least one soldier, here.
Thank You, Canteeners, for your steadfast support of my missions!
Sarge will be in the area most of tonight, so Let's Have Fun!
SARGE
