The Marine Corps did its best to make holiday's special. For Thanksgiving there would be turkey with the trimmings. It wasn't bad but not what one could call "home cooked." The Marine Corps' birthday on November 10, was also a holiday. It featured a special meal with a birthday cake. The oldest marine present received the first piece of cake. Our first sergeant, who was 48, might have gotten that first piece but he was home with his wife.
When I was waiting in the car shop the other day I got them to turn off the radio blaring Christmas music. About fifteen minutes later another staff member came in and turned on the TV. I said to her "You're not going to leave that on, are you?" She said "Yes, my manager said it's to quiet in here." I looked at the the couple who were also waiting in the room and asked "do you need sound." They shook their head 'no'. The woman left it off saying "I'll have to talk to my manager." She never returned. There's nothing wrong with quiet!😀
