Sarge is back in the cubes this morning, after an evening of a sad duty; attending the viewing for the father of one of his soldiers. A good part of the unit showed up, to show support for our bereaved sister-under-arms, who by the time we got there, had the 1,000-yard-stare big time.
The deceased was well-known on the local NASCAR circuit, and was very popular, as judged by the immense crowd of people there. And everyone whom we talked to, said almost the same thing: that they never thought that the young woman would EVER do anything like join the Army, and the change it's wrought in her has been noticable. A bit of good cheer among the sadness.
Anyway, we've got not much else going on today, so let's have a few Personals:
USVET;KJ: Came into work this AM with a thunderstorm chasing me; I hope that's not how the rest of the day goes...
TONKIN: Thanks once again, for the Canteen lights being on for another day!
GALZ: Sorry about my abrupt departure yesterday, but duty did call, after all...
TO MY BRETHREN UNDER ARMS: You've got a big support base, here in the Canteen, and I've have you reminded of that as you go about your duty day!
Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!
SARGE
Good morning, Old Sarge. How's it going?
Good Morning Sarge.
Condolences to your sister-under-arms.
Off and on all day, Sarge.
