Controlling aircraft. At midnight on Christmas Eve a deep voice came booming out on Guard frequency saying "This is God on Guard - Happy Birthday, son." Immediately following that was a smaller voice saying "Thanks, Pop!"
It kept me smiling the rest of the night shift.

How very marvelous of you all; MAJ Jim Woods! I'll bet those Boy Scouts could not have been prouder.

While deployed, pulling a shift on the perimeter and running mail and chow to every position, every Observation Point. The Commander and I would be on the move the entire day to get to every location but would not have had it any other way! While not deployed, we get in the mess hall and serve chow to our troops.

CSM Michael J. Uhlig, Sounds like you and the Commander were just Angels. You really related to your troops in the Spirit of Christmas.
