Merry Christmas!!!
I went to midnight mass last night. I guess the Pope decided to hold midnight mass early (1000 local time in Rome) so we were celebrating at the same time. Pretty Cool!
Our BN sent across a pretend SIGACT (significant action) about North Pole 6 (aka Santa) receiving SAF (small arms fire). QRF (quick reaction force) was sent out and the Grinch was detained. Rudolf was forced to take evasive action and was slightly injured in the crash but the medics patched him up and he was RTD (returned to duty). North Pole 6 decided to CM (continue mission). NSTR (nothing significant to report). S2 assessed the Grinch was motivated by envy since Santa has numerous Christmas TV specials but the Grinch only has one. There is a storyboard about it too, but I have yet to see it. Believe it or not, somebody else came up this this (it wasn't me).
I unwrapped the presents this morning (I woke up at 1000 since I didn't get back from mass till 0200). Thank you very much. Kids, I love the warm blanket. I will retire the woobie back to the rucksack where it belongs. The cards are cute too. Mom and dad sent some gifts from Australia. I love the book from your parents, too! Baxter and Debbie sent a care package that is much appreciated. The Christmas Book designed by the kids was very cute too. Love the bookmarks. Many thanks also to Charlie and Becky and Ken and Cindy for the Amazon gift card goodies.
1SG kicked me out of my office this morning and told be to either hang out in my room or find someplace else to be. I'm not used to being ordered not to work. I've put in 30 productive hours the past 2 days...so I guess I could slack for a day. I think I'll find a place to curl up with some books and just rest for a while. I've been going non-stop for 30 days. Its hard to believe that it has been that long since leave.
Kids...Merry Christmas. I'll be home for Christmas...next year.
Love,
John
