FLASH

Through some act of God our beloved Col. Mark Davis has earned enough OBD points to qualify for a promotion to Brigadier General!

It seems like only yesturday he was a wet-behind-the-ears graduate of VMI. Since then he has fought many glorious maneuvers and a few lackluster battles. His most memorable moments though have occurred far behind the lines and right in our own backyard. Never has the AotM seen such latrines as he has built for us! His first act was to build the latrines DOWNRIVER from our camps. This noticably improved the quality of the coffee each morning. The old timers complained the coffee lacked that certain "punch" but they adjusted.

When Mrs. Davis joined our fine Army during the winter she made sure each latrine was surrounded by floral curtains to allow for more privacy. Mrs. Davis remained a popular fixture at our camp until she began to confiscate the French postcards from the soldiers before they "used" the latrines. This did shorten wait time though. Mrs. Davis also introduced the men to scented toiletry paper which has become very popular to use before a Barn Dance. The mosquitos and ticks seemed to be attracted more to the pleasant scent so this has caused more than one soldier to be seen "scratching" in public - something Mrs. Davis strictly abhors.

Col. Davis continued to oversee the latrine placements and maintainence. More than once I awoke him in the middle of the night to inform him his services were needed on the east wall. Happily he would grumble a few curses and grab his trusty shovel, named Bessie, and hike through the night air while I went back to sleep trusting he would have the situation well-in-hand before I awoke for my morning constitutional.

Alas, Col. Davis is now up for promotion! Who will fill his shoes and take over the latrine duty of our Army? Let us hope another such fine officer will be found!

Congrats to Col. Davis!

Congratulations Mark! It's a pleasure to have you in the Generals club now and you will soon get the keys to the generals private toilet!

But I must say I miss the days when the coffee had that extra punch, it was great in the early mornings when you where so tired!

But the new coffee tastes a bit better I must admit!

Regards,

Congratulations Sir

Well deserved! Now lets hit the tavern! Barkeep - Hot chocolate!!! No ways - who introduced that stuff?
