"GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR!"
Elmendorf Air Force Base,
(AMNS) — "Give that man a
cigar!” which doesn't sound very
much like a part of a troop in
formation and education hour.
But then—this is Alaska—and
things are done a little different
ly up here than in Stateside and
o her overseas stations.
M-Sgt. Russell Brnner and
SFC Gerald Dali, both TI<fcE
socialists. Headquarters Com
pany. United States Army, Al
aska. decided something should
be done to put a little pep into
an otherwise routine session.
After the first cigar was
awarded for a particularly good
answer, some considerable in
terest was evinced—and cigars
were passed out right and left
—providing, of course, that the
right answers preceded the
award.
“Next time.” Sgt. Broner
said, “We’ve got to have more
help—a couple of men to run
the meeting and another to hand
out the cigars!"
