So I have a question for you...what happens when you're in the middle of an exercise and you decide to visit the dorms to hand out candy and some paranoid Airman calls in a Helping Hand.
The COPS show up!
Yes, tonight MrsBlue and I decided to go around the dorms and knock on the doors of the Airmen and offer them some candy. No strings attached, just a friendly HELLO! So off we went to the dorm with our wicker basket of Skittles and Starburst...enough to feed a least a few Airmen (I think we could have fed all of the dorms with the amount of candy we had.
When we arrive, the first dorm we arrived at was "closed" for remodeling. Not a way to start the visit to the dorms off, but off we headed to the next dorm. It wasn't a far walk, so we moved on over. Then it was hit on every door that had a light on to offer some candy. Yeah, I know...maybe candy is NOT what we should be offering the FAT Boys in today's Air Force in light of the number of discharge packages I see for people failing the fitness tests. But, candy is always EASY to hand out!
So we made the rounds on the ground floor and had several "takers" for our candy. As we made our way around the 2nd floor, we look down and see the COPS! Of course I think they know who I am so I keep on going knocking on doors and having fun when they arrive and ask for my ID Card! I was surprised to be questioned, but offered up my ID Card when the Alpha notices MrsBlue for who she is and say on the Radio..."we're all clear, it's the 'big guy and his wife".
As we talk to the COPS on the scene and the BDOC, we find out that some young Airmen in the dorms reported us via a Helping Hand with a perfect description of our clothing. However, he was a little off on the age...something about two 50 year olds handing out candy.
I think I'll make the blotter for sure! Way to go...guess I need to get clearance before heading to the dorms! Who what have thought that?
