[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 608284, member: 6797"] I am a Canadian military pilot on a ground job - spending a little holiday time enjoying the sun and wind - plus some interesting insect life - in the desert with a few friends from other countries. I think I am going to be here for about another 18 months and a little bit - done five and a half so far. As such I tend to find a little "community" with those who watch over us from the air. So to tell the truth - it was smuggled in from an unnamed European country. A friend who was on his way to deliver a "present" to the "other side" made a detour of about three kilometres and air dropped it to us on the ground. And some ice cold chocolate mik! The first we have had since we arrived here. It was a thankyou to me - I volunteered for a rather extended sandy duty over Christmas and New Years so a few extra guys on my team could get out for a little Christmas R&R. Apparently my efforts to cover them off were appreciated and they spent some of their own money and broke a couple of laws to be sure we had something other than the usual government supplied food. As their boss I really should discipline them for breaking certain national laws and possible misuse of resources - however I think I will write them up for an excellent use of initiative - adapting, improvising and overcoming a few small issues to ensure their colleagues that stayed behind got a nice meal. Cooked it over a bunch of very dry animal manure, some small twigs of unknown origin, a bit of diesel fuel and some carboard that we use to lie on when we have a little nap. Today I am at an OP - doing nothing and hoping nothing happens - better to be bored out of your tree than busy - worried about those I have sent out - first timers - just part of the job. It was quite tastey and we all agreed we would happily eat it again. Cheers Bez+ [/QUOTE]
