Season 2 Episode #16Back in NC, Hali, Dudley, and Uni were finishing off the details of the upcoming operation with GSgt. Stratton. Hali came up with one or two surprisingly sneaky little additions that made Stratton comment "Are you sure you're not a Marine Pijie?"
Dudly and Hali shared a grin. Skittles, Sandy, and Solo came back after a while to find their worst nightmare standing forsquare in the middle of the coop wearing a smug look and a high 'n tight. Stratton immediatly confiscated the decks of cards and dice from Skittles, the Chewing gum, and Rootbeer from Sandy, and after picking up Sandy and bouncing him upside down, he also confiscated the Saffower seed, and poker chips that fell out on the ground. As Uni took off to meet up with Moe, and Mary Lou, the rest of the Feathernecks returned with the "Borrowed" Chevy Suburbans. Scooter, Savannah, and Gingersnap had to be dragged from the back of the Limo because they had found the CD player, and were busy booging their tail feathers off. Stratton snagged Skip, Sammy. Scamp, and Peaches. 'Now I Know that you Pijies have been secretly watching MTV after lights out each night. I also know that your personal favourite is something called "Pimp My Ride...."' The four pijies had the good sense to look embarassed. 'Yes Gunny......Sorry Gunny'. 'Good', grinned Stratton. 'Because your punishment for breaking curfew is two hours hard labour......' 'What!' 'I have two Chevy Suburbans, and a Limo out back. I need them to look like this.' - Stratton showed them some photos. Peaches did that "Reverse Whistle" that all mechanics do when faced with a customer with a deadline, and a simple job. She sucked air in through her beak....That sound means; A) It's going to take hours at $100 per. B) That's After we get the parts in. C) Which will take at least six weeks. D) And they are expensive. E) And you are not going to see much change out of $1,000 F) And that's Per Veichle. Stratton fixed the four Pijies with his best "Do-I-Look-Like-I-Was-Born-Yesterday" look. 'You have two hours...That's not three hours, nor is it two and a half. It's one hundred and twenty minutes........or one hundred and twenty push-ups. Your choice'. The pijies scattered. The rest of the Feathernecks, were working on either making little flags for the fenders, or going too and fro carring paint and things out to the four mechanics working on the cars. Shadow, Sarge, and Signa were forging bumperstickers. Hali. As the only Parolette in the bunch called the local highschool, and in her best human voice (who knew she could talk) invited the schools brass band to show up tomorrow morning at the dove hunt, as there was going to be a very special guest. And No. She couldn't discuss who it was, because it was a matter of national security........ Uni showed up in Mass just in time to break up yet another "Disagreement" based on "Artistic differences". It is amazing how smoothly things go when Uni is staring at you. It took three takes before Mary Lou said that they were ready. 'Ok. Good.' said Uni. 'Lets go.' The four pijies dissapeared in a flash. They arrived in time to set up the lighting, the sound system, the stages, and the cameras. Back in the Dog carrier; Tooter shushed Dinkster, and Squeeks into silence. He could hear a very familiar sound. Mary Lou was setting up not too far from where he was standing. He felt a whole lot better knowing that there were other SPPs on the case. Not that he was worried or anything........ Stratton had been very adamant that they should be finished and before dawn. He was so adamant that each pijie faced at least 100 push-ups, and a trip around the assault course if they failed to make the deadline. Which explains why Stoker was standing in the shadows behiend the neighbours Rooster..... The Rooster was eagerly looking eastwards and warming up his vocal chords in anticipation of the dawn. The Sun rose slowly above the Horizon. The Rooster filled his lungs, as he did every morning. 'Cock-A-Doodle-Mmmpfh-Mmmpfh!!!' He screamed, as Stoker grabbed his beak and gagged him with a roll of scotch tape. As each and every Featherneck knows; If the rules don't suit.........Change them.....

Hey Alvin
Well, THIS ONE is the best yet! The part about Hali calling the local high school and asking for the band to go to the dove hunt is hilarious. Who will the special guest be? Ah, I am so proud of my babies.

I love the part about Stoker grabbing the roosters beak. As I said this is sooo visual for me. I can see little Hali calling for the high school band. I didn't like Ol Straton taking CHB's root bear, and seeds though.
Maggie, I love your babies! Feather

Which means that the pijies are forced to hide it better next time. - It makes them more sneaky. - Or did you think that Stratton stopped teaching the CHBs the moment they left the parade ground? (flying space for us non-Marines). The job of a sargent is to make the young birdies as sneaky, and as bloody-minded as possible. And Stratton does that very, very well. He should.... He learned it from Gertrude.

Hi Little Bird, I see Alvin isn't on right now so thought I'd let you know that Gertrude (and Oskar) both passed away a few weeks ago. They were Alvin's that he had rescued and once they were ok gave them to a friend who has lofts. The friend let him know about Gertrude.
He stole our hearts and many of us wanted to keep him in the story. He had been the commander of a unit that Stratton was in and Stratton learned everything he knows from Gertrude. Gertrude trained him well. PS - The handsome Gertrude's picture is in the Hall of Love forum.

Are you kidding me? - The worst thing you could do to Gertrude is give him a commission. He'd hate you forever. Nope. Gertrude is a born Sargent.

Oh My God,
Happy Birthday Pretty Kitty! I love your baby picture. This part of your album is being sent straight to my sister. She is a big fan of yours. Whoops I forgot to tell you that today is my husbands birthday too. Only he isn't evil, just crazy. Feather Last edited by Feather; 23rd October 2006 at 11:02 PM.

Wow Pete, that is the cutest baby picture with those beautiful blue eyes. And, I still can't see him as an adult being a nasty, evil cat.
Aren't you something - fixing him a birthday cake. That is so sweet.  Feather, wish your hubby a happy birthday for me. And, he ain't crazy - after all, he married you!

I had to see this kitten again this morning. The more I look at him I can see that he is something to be recond with. Of course it is plain to see that he was attacked. But I would like you to look at his paw with daggers extended.
Now let your eyes ease on down to the placement of his back feet (daggers extended). Im sure that after this brawl a request was made to "get am ambulence here fast". He has even stopped breafly to pose for a picture. Oh yes, he is a little beauty! Maggie, About my husband, that particular action was the deciding factor. Feather
