I have persuaded, threatened and cumshawed the SLEEP INN & SUITES to put us up, provide us a party room and feed us. I have sweet talked the Fleet reserve (Just down the road) to put on a couple items for us also. There’s plenty to keep us busy there, so don’t make me have to put out any rules to get you aboard. According to the CO, the registration form must be filled out, I’m just following orders. If it were up to me, all would be free…
