So thankful and blessed with a successful Christmas Angel Tree Operation. As we partnered with Toys for Tots, the NC Food Bank and Roamin Angels, many famili...es will end up this year with the happiness and relief of paying their bills and having some food on their tables, instead of spending on toys... Hundreds of kids will have some gifts to open this Christmas. Thank you so much to all our employees, volunteers and donors in the community who made this possible. This is what happens when you donate to Salvation Army. Please continue to do so at: https://grassvalley.SalvationArmy.org See more

The United States Marine Corps issued orders, today, to Sergeant Major S. Claus, recalling him to active duty, with a RNLTD of 24 Dec 2020. Sgt. Major Claus, kn...own to use the alias Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Father Christmas, or simply Santa, is a reservist, with 1,743 years of service. He specializes as a tactical operator of the next generation DEC-25B, Cargo Airborne Delivery (CAnDY) Carrier. The DEC-25B is contractor-modified and fully equipped with Cargo Antlered Navigation Equipment Sensors (CANES). It has also been retrofitted with eight high-powered, air-cooled Rangifer Tarandus carrot-fed generators. As a single seat cargo delivery platform, it is capable of vertical delivery of high-value items, take-off and landing without pilot controlled lighting (PCL). These unique specifications, coupled with the additional Public Affairs skill sets possessed by Sgt. Major Claus, classify the entire deployable package as a low-density, high-demand (LD/HD) asset. Also recalled, were 1st Sergeant Dasher, Master Sergeant Dancer, Gunnery Sergeant Prancer, Staff Sergeant Vixen, Sergeant Comet, Corporal Cupid, Lance Corporal Donner, and Private First Class Blitzen. Private Rudolph is also authorized to report for duty; however, he must first successfully complete his Phase II SERE Training, which he has failed three times due to a medical condition related to his nose. Although the above Marines are on orders for only 24 hours, it is anticipated that they will submit a travel claim for 24,901 miles at $0.56/mile, using a POV. Suitable Government transportation is not available. As a special operations unit, each member is granted a high level of uniform flexibility, as well as relaxed grooming standards. Per diem has been modified to include large quantities of hot cocoa and cookies. Government travel card use has been authorized.
