Prior service personnel pulled Christmas off again

Lunch with Santa vfw yesterday I think count was 181 kids or 2 undermanned rifle companies in the 82nd ok sorry my attempt at humor. But it made us happy this group of awesome spouses and prior service ass and trash former Air Force army navy marine Corp no matter the branch served we all came together and made it happen,once again every child received a toy and got to talk with Santa.

My wife played Mrs claus our sons were elves as well as sgt major and I volunteered for the Santa slot once again five years now I am a natural reason # 1 my lack of mental maturity and my beard turned gray early and I haven’t shaved it in about 8 years since but I trim it to keep it in line. Come to think of it I started going gray when the chocolate lab menace of society came to live with us as a puppy I was 44 and I started turning gray and that was 8 years ago dam dog . Question any jag personnel I know we got em here can I article 15 the chocolate lab menace not field grade just company level he deserves it.

The highlight of the day a young man not sure how old he was but he got worked up and started crying on Santa’s lap and puked. I’m thinking he was probably around well 18 months to probably two years old parents wanted pictures. Santa had take break to clean the baby barf off his uniform but quickly went back into action. And after the lunch sgt major told me a young boy asked him aren’t you to old to be a elf he is 68 I said you should told that kid Santa outfit is all volunteers now we keep you I had a blast. Next year I think Santa gonna sew 325 Airborne flash on my outfit just to aggravate the Legs.
