Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Thanks. Hope you enjoyed your day with family and friends.
So were you back home in Texas or still in Florida for Thanksgiving? I had mine last Friday night cause it was the only day we could all get together, 2 of the daughters had to work yesterday... It was nice here so I was outside patching the driveway and playing with the dogs. I had a small hole (or so I thought) up by the garage. When I started pulling out the asphalt I found out the base course underneath had washed out and ended up using a whole 40lb bucket to patch it. Got to go out today and find some good sealer for some other small cracks. Was online ordering some gifts for Xmas, also thawed out some pork to make some Tasso (for Red Beans and Rice next weekend) and some bottom round to make some "Po Boys" today... :)

Good, Thanksgiving is always better when the whole family is there... Can remember a few times out on TDYs over Thanksgiving, even though I was with all "the guys" it just didn't seem the same...
Had about 7 of those overseas Thanksgiving and Christmas meals between combat tours and Korea. Good chow every time except the last one in 2009. They let the Indian cooks handle it and it turned out fine but UN-American. I think they put curry in everything. I like curry, just not on my Thanksgiving day meal:) Remember having one Thanksgiving in the "dust bowl" at NTC Fort Irwin CA (Mojave). The division commander had the option to get us there the day after Thanksgiving, but thought getting us there two days prior to Thanksgiving would give us more time to draw equipment. You can imagine how well that went over with the troops and our families. :(
He must have been looking for a promotion or he did not realize how fast the troops can "gear up" and put their gear away when properly motivated!!! And I also assume he was informed of this little tidbit of information and chose to ignore it???
The CG was none other than Wesley Clark. So yes he ignored such advice. The same guy who used to ride a horse around (1CD we still have horses) during SGTs time training. One day he came up on an NCO in my Battalion area training his troops on NBC equipment. He stopped dismounted and explained to the NCO how he could be a better trainer. He mounted up again and his horse took a huge dump on the grass in the battalion HQs area. To give credit to the NCO he tried flagging down the general to pick up after his horse. Not fast enough. Long story short the Bn CSM was not happy and made a call to the Div CSM. I heard that profanity laden conversation from my office down the hall (I was Bn Adjutant back then). To no avail of course. Some young NCO and soldier had to clean up the mess. I recommended a "return to sender" policy which helped the CSMs mood a bit:)
I am shocked that you would suggest a SGM,and especially a CSM,would lose their temper and resort to profanity! They are normally such laid-back mellow fellows,
Yeah right... LOL...
