Going Off to War

2008-08-19T12:55:16Z

Sgt. B is mobilizing with the National Guard. Let's send him off in style.

Luv ya, big brother.

UPDATE: For new visitors/residents of the Castle... Sgt. B used to be a daily commenter, stirring things up and leading the charge in comment parties. He's been less visible lately, but stayed in touch behind the scenes. A former Marine (got out in the '90s), he joined the national guard two years ago with an eye to seeing how fast he could get himself deployed. So far, he's doing a pretty good job of reaching that goal.

BZ, SpokanePhoenix! I know we don't need to tell you to keep 'Zilla happy. I'm sure it's effortless for you.

Mrs.G - Don't worry, you will be in on all our fun.....it wouldn't be fun without you!

Sgt B (from remote site) - dreading going with the 'zilla-in-panties theme, but if Balud is as lonely as seems indicated must find NSN for 55-gallon drum of mascara and blush - why go halfway........ (But really hoping don't have to take that route)

Ft. McCoy and their chocolate milk in the chow hall gets a big thumbs up!

RFI = Ready for Issue

Sgt. B is not in an internet friendly place, but has been advised of the comments, and appreciates the magnificent send-off! He is headed to Ft. McCoy in the wee hours. He is packing extra 20mm anti-aircraft ammo to deal with the Wisconsin mosquitos.........

And don't worry ladies, he has been given his basic issue but welcomes any supplemental RFI. (grin) I have his address at McCoy!

Huh. Those fundie Islam folks probably got wind of your impending panty delivery and were genuinely. cutlurally disturbed...

...that they were still looking at magazines while you got the real thing.

They'll have to pass directly overhead of Kirkuk before they get to Baghdad for distribution.

If they have a passenger, she can bail out and guide on the rocket that just went off outside.

Clearly WK is a big Wheel of Fortune fan....she knew just which two vowels turned pants into something 'Zilla would want.

It's kinda scary that he still remembers.

Why? What fun would it be if you had to explain something to me over and over and over -- say, f'r example, that you never got the official pict

Ummmmm. Never mind.

Why in Heaven's name would Princess Crabby's Grand Vizier want us all dressed like Hillary Clinton!!!!

This is what I meant about him being a terrier. In December 2005 I was invited to go to DC to meet the Under Secretary of the VA and spend the day at one of the VA's new Polytrauma facilities. I wore very nice a purple pantsuit (it had an almost knee-length jacket, not like the ones Hillary wears), and it got very complimentary comments from the gentlemen accompanying us from the Military Order of the Purple Heart, which I mentioned in blogging. I promised Bill a copy of the formal pictures that were taken with the undersecretary, but I never received the pics, which Bill occasionally compains about. It's kinda scary that he still remembers. :P

I think all the Denizennes that are going to Vegas should have a group photo taken for 'Zilla.
