IRAN THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS REVISITED BY E X 3 GARY A JtlEU TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN THE GULFTXjJM. NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING IN THE LAND OF ISLA THE F-14S WERE PARKED BY THE ISLAND WITH CARE IN HOPES THEY COULD BOMB TEHRAN FROM THE AIR THE CREW WAS SLEEPING ALL SNUG IN THEIR RACKS DREAMING OF KHOMEINI HAVING MASSIVE CARDIACS. WITH THE JOUETT AT PIRAZ. F-4S WERE THE CAPS, M1DWATCHES PREDICTING IRAN WOULD COLLAPSE. WHEN ALL THROUGH THE TASK FORCE THERE AROSE SUCH A FEAR. THE SUDDEN REALIZATION THAT THERE WOULD BE NO BEER. TO SICK BAY THE ALKIES HASTENED THEIR PACE WHILE HOPING THAT DOC WOULD SPLICE THE MAIN BRACE. WHEN WHAT TO THE LOOKOUTS EYES SHOULD APPEAR BUT A MINIATURE BEERTRUCK AND SIX DRUNKEN REINDEER WITH A GRINDING OF GEARS AND AN OCCASIONAL THUNK, ZIG ZAGGING AND WEAVING. THE DRIVER WAS DRUNK! SAUDI ARABIA OMAN WITH A VOICE SLIGHTLY SLURRED. WE HEARD HIM EXCLAIM AS HE PEERED AT HIS REINDEER AND CALLED THEM BY NAME: ON PERCY! ON HERSCHEL! ON MORRIS! ON BLAINE! ON CHEETAH! ON MALCOLM! REMEMBER THE MAINE!! AND ON THE FLIGHTDECK. HE FINALLY DID LAND. HE STAGGERED FROM THE BEERTRUCK. MUG IN EACH HAND. THEN FROM THE CREW THERE AROSE SUCH A CHEER THAT IT FRIGHTENED POOR SANTA AND HE SPILLED HIS BEER THE CREV MOBBED THE BEERTRUCK. MUCH LAUGHTER AND DRINKING. SOME EYED THE REINDEER, BIZARRE THOUGHTS THEY WERE THINKING. THEN A VOICE FROM THE BRIDGE SCREAMED IN THEIR EAR. PUT THOSE CANS DOWN. GET THAT ELF OUTTA HERE! BUT THE BEERTRUCK WAS BROKEN. NO REPAIR IN SIGHT. ALL THE REINDEER UNCONSCIOUS FROM THEIR DRUNKEN FLIGHT A HELO WAS LAUNCHED. A VERTREP WAS PLANNED TO CARRY OFF SANTA AND HIS DRUNKEN BAND. THE TASK WAS AHEAD. THE REINDEER TO WAKE. SO HE KICKED AT THEIR H OOVES AND THEN HE SPAKE: UP DELBERT! UP BERNIE! HEY FRITZ WAKE JACQUES! UP MAURICE! HEY ADOLF! LETS GO TO THE HAVKV AND WE HEARD HIM EXCLAIM. AS HE FLIPPED THEM THF flRD, AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI. YOU ' RE A AeAL CAMEL TUB IT IS A PLEASURE TO CONYRY TO ALL OF YOU IN THE NA VY-MAfTIlW ' CORPS TEAM. AND TO YOUR FAMILIES. THE WARMEST WISHES FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON. AS YOU KNOM ' i CHRISTMAS IS A VERY SPECIAL OCCASION, FOR RELI- GIOUS AND COUNTLEs OTHER REA- SONS THAT DERIVE FR(M THE TRADE TIONS OF EACHR Tf tVS LIFE. CHRIST MAS CAN THpSMEAN MANY THINGS TO MANY PeJdPLE. AND EACH PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO ATTACH THAT MEAN- ING TO ITJHA T HIS OR HER OWN PHI- LOSOPH] ATTRIBUTES TO THIS PAR TIME OF YEAR. I REMEMBER WELL THE CHRISTMAS OF 1944. WHICH I SPENT ABOARD THE CARRIER ENTERPRISE WITH 2.000 OTH- ER MEN. FAR. FAR AWAY FROM THOSE WE LOVED. BUT IN A SENSE WE MERE
