Al,
Thanks to you and all the boys of pack 3 for the goodies. I spread out the stuff in the two boxes down in our coffee shop area and stood by. Both boxes of stuff were pretty much gone after an hour, with many comments from our Sailors, Soldiers, and Marines to thank your boys for their hard work and their kind hearts.
I'll get some small souvenirs to send, but you probably will not get until after the holidays. You can show these to the boys in a January pack meeting (afghan money, some soviet medals, etc etc etc).
Today was our 1/2 day off day (each week) so many folks in photo in PT gear relaxing some.
Once again, thanks Pack 3!!
Tim
[ed. note -- PT gear is "physical training" or, to us civilians, gym shorts & t-shirts]
Here you see our Air Force and Marine components interfacing successfully over Cub Scout logistical support!
When about an hour had passed, here's what's left of the pack stuff . . .
The closing thank you to the Cub Scouts of Pack 3 and someone named "Big Al" was a little puzzling, but "Big Al" may refer to his M-16A1, safety off and clicked to full auto -- This is not official BSA equipment, we should note!
[Editor's Note -- I've been properly corrected, and duly chastized for not looking closely: that's an M4A1, a combat arms modification of the M16A2. My only excuse is that the M16A1 is the only one I've carried about, so it's what I thought I saw! And it isn't official BSA gear, either. YiS, jbg]
