This morning 15 members of our unit participated in the base's 5K run. Despite the rain, it was still a lot of fun. We ran around the base's helipad. It was cool seeing a bunch of Marine Ospreys sitting on the field.
Otherwise, we do not have a lot going on so soldiers are finding ways of keeping themselves occupied.
One thing we did was have an ongoing "drama" involving a lawn ornament that was "kidnapped" and re-kidnapped a number of times. It was a ceramic gnome with a Boston Red Sox outfit. The HHC commander thought he would make a good mascot, but many of the New York members of the unit took umbrage. I played "Dr. Zevil" in a number of episodes of the "ransom" and "re-education" films involving the gnome. If it sounds bizarre, it is. I am not sure I understand it either, but it seemed to be good for morale.
