Chusu Kamsa-jeol Chukha hamnida!

Which would translate as Happy Holiday of Thanks for the Harvest!

...Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. II Corinthians 9:11

It is already a bright and early Thanksgiving here. There are a few food baskets to distribute and then it is dinner at the DFAC, formerly known as the mess hall - somewhere along the line, they quit calling them mess halls and started calling them Dining Facilities. It is pronounced dee-fac, because where would the Army be without acronyms? Anyway, a big meal at DFAC and the rest of the afternoon is open for whatever may present itself...except for Meghan's afternoon. The scholarly among us has two classes today, so she will spend 3-9 listening to lectures and other such classroom pursuits of knowledge.

Yesterday was the annual Turkey Bowl. The teams were Captains vs. the Lieutenants, but the Captains (thanks to a chaplain that did not want to lose) recruited a few FSGs, a CSM and an LTC. To avoid any rank conflicts, the referee just named the teams The Old Men and The Young Boys. Here are the Old Men:

And here is how the game deteriorates when Old Men play with Young Boys: (so much for FLAG Football)


Well, the most important thing is the Old Men won the game. The Young Boys can find some satisfaction in the fact that after the game is forgotten next week, some of the Old Men will still be feeling it.

Happy Thanksgivingness from us here in Korea!!
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
