Special Orders....

[Ghastly Whisper]

HQ Air Command issued orders today to Air Commodore. S.N. Claus, recalling him to active duty, with a report date of Dec. 24, 2022. A reservist, with 1,742 years of service, Air.Cdr. Claus is highly regarded as a specialist in vertical delivery of high-value items. He is also a Public Relations Officer.

Also recalled, are Sqn Ldr Dasher, Warrant Officer Dancer, Flt Sgt Prancer, PIlot Officer Vixen, Flt Lt. Comet, Flt Lt. Cupid, Sgt Donner, and Cpl Blitzen, Individual Augmentees from the RAF Reserves. LAC Rudolph is also authorized to report for duty; subject to successful completion of trade training, so far failed three times. He has been warned that a fourth failure may result in transfer to ATC or catering.

Although the above personnel are on orders for only 24 hours, it is anticipated that they will submit a travel claim for 24,901 miles at 45p/mile. They will be operating a special role aircraft currently under preparation by a Boscombe Down detachment to an undisclosed location somewhere North of the Orkneys.

As a special operations unit, each member is granted a high level of uniform flexibility, as well as relaxed grooming standards. Standing Orders is authorized and in flight catering has been modified to include large quantities of carrots, hot chocolate and high calorie snacks. Special dispensation has been given for limited consumption of alcoholic spirits during the mission.

Per Ardua Ad Astra.

And humour aside, let's remember and support all those servicemen whose role takes them away from their families this Christmas, sometimes in harms way - and especially their families. We know what it's like, and you have all our respect, thanks and admiration.
