It is 100 days of the 1 year "in country" for us as of December 7. Triple digits! We celebrate every 50 days with a "cigar party" on a watch tower in the middle of camp.
Follow up to the request for volunteers to make their missions 9 months longer. That's only for certain job types. The rest of us can spend a full year extra if we want. Give me a New York second to think it over: fuggedaboutit!
A very nice surprise arrived from the Oak Leaf Club of Pensacola. The Oak Leaf Clubs of the Navy are volunteer support organizations of spouses of military health care workers: docs, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, administrators, etc. These officers have an oak leaf insignia designating their profession, hence the Oak Leaf Club. The three of us from Naval Hospital Pensacola just received stockings and gifts from the Oak Leaf Club; the stockings were made and filled by a senior group in Milton, FL. We are touched and thrilled to be remembered at this time of year, 7000 miles from home. THANKS from Don, Todd and myself.
