Gentlemen, may I introduce you to General Cam McOmish's sister? She really knows how to catch a man's eye! But watch out boys... she's been divorced five times and she is looking for her next victim... errrr... man! :shock:

Boys... don't let Brig. General Martin talk to Miss McOmish... it might be his undoing!

Gentlemen, please let me introduce you to Lt Chris Perleberg's sister... Maggie Perleberg. She's a nice homegrown Kansas girl. She can cook and clean and she'll watch sports with you all day long... as long as it's a Kansas Jayhawks game!

Suh, my compliments!

You've been very busy dragging up photos, I see. Please remind your lieutenants of the consequences for poor manners when dealing with General McOmish's sister. We'd hate to see a repeat of the incident from three years ago!

Highest regards,

General McOmish <salute>

Suh, my compliments!

I pray that acting Brevet Command Sergeant Major Nicodemus is not considered a "safari animal". His service to our cause has been admirable over the last few years to the detriment of several Yankee pack horses for snacks as well as a few Yankee generals feeling their oats against "Gator Alley". I believe he'd be honored to supervise the valet parking of Yankee mounts for the occasion :D

I did notice the schedule of events included "2045 – 2100 hrs: parading of the Christmas Turkey". Will this be General Meyer or General Ringbloom?

Highest regards,
