Thanksgiving Dinner

Most days of the year, the chow hall is what you'd expect from army food: That is to say, it's not very good. Some days it's simply hilarious at how bad it is, and how creative the substitutions can get.

However, for the holidays, they do go the extra mile and put on a pretty good spread. This was our Thanksgiving dinner, free for all unaccompanied personnel.

Not knowing where I was supposed to leave the ransom payment, I simply left them on top of the copier. I came back an hour later, looked up, and there was my toy! Safe and sound.



In retrospect, this may have been in retribution for me using two rolls of packing tape to firmly attach every item on my co-workers desk . . . to his desk.
