Dinner with the Chief

One of the guys who works with us is a Navy Chief Petty Officer. He’s a very loud and proud kind of guy. When he’s in the room everyone knows and if not – he’ll make sure you know very soon. We had dinner with him tonight because by the time he gets back from R&R we’ll be gone. My room-mate and I kidded him about some of the construction projects. He built a smoking area type gazebo for the smokers (including him) and he was instrumental in getting our break/lunch room closed off. In the past it was just some tables in the sand and now it is a completely enclosed structure with A/C. So you get the picture he likes to build stuff. We kid him about the wood and that he ahem…“borrows” it from others. He says no it’s all from the scrap yard from KBR. He gets a lot of wood from the scrap yard. Well Chuck and I kidded him that we have drawn up plans for the next major project…we hope to build a roller coaster in the courthouse area. We have the perfect place for it and of course, we’ll just get all the wood from the scrap yard area. He loved it. He really got a kick out of the story and the joke. It may not be funny to you, but we all had a good laugh. MNFRC humor I guess. (Ihave a picture of him - but my bad internet connection won't allow me to upload it)
