...I'd take it as a personal favor if you bought John and that Marine O-6 a beer today.

The rest of you, have a peaceful -- and peacable -- Veterans' Day.

*scooting back to work*

And here is to you, my favorite helicopter pilot.

Hope you quaff one or six for me, too, kat.

*sigh*

General Order #1 took all the fun out of being in a combat zone...

I am going to quaff my American beer and thank God I can say that: American Beer.

BillT, howsabout I ship you some ... gun cleaner.

That works, right? It contains alcohol (clean, and sanitary), it's for military purposes, that's good,right?

...Just ignore the O'Doul's label on the carton, mmkay?

thank you!
PS I will have one for you, Bill and Sgt B.  Sorry, Kat, mine will be an Irish one...

I take it that disguising gin as green listerine doesn't work anymore? I mean, shouldn't be too hard to fudge the shrink wrap on the lid.

That's old hat. If I want *real* beer, all I have to do is ask one of the Iraqi pilots to pick me up a six-pack in town.

But I'm subject to the UCMJ and GO #1 sez, "No alcohol." Same deal as when I was in Pakistan -- if I wanted it, I could buy it openly, but I druther not run afoul of GO#1. A couple of beers ain't worth being fired.

BTW, the Iraqis wonder why we're using the *Saudi* interpretation of the injunction in the Qu'ran -- especially since the Saudis whoop it up whenever they're outside of SA....

I'll toast ya with a cup of hot chocolate, dark enough to be bittersweet and rich enough to be decadent.
That's the best I can do, save send you a carton of Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip IC.  Happy Veteran's Day, Chief.  Thank you so much for all you do and all you have done.
