Speaking of anniversaries, aren't we approaching a milestone in the history of this organization? If I am not mistaken, wasn't it the month of February when our esteemed Lt. Craddock met with destiny in the form of a bottle of hot sauce?

Oh yes. It WAS in February, at Camp Barnhardt, when the incident happened. I knew this month was special for some reason. To celebrate, I think everyone should have a burger - with that famous "Possible Side Effects" sauce added.
