FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY –
Despite the US Government shutdown, the Coast Guard has issued orders today to ADM S. Claus, recalling him to active duty, with a report date of 24 Dec 18.
A reservist, with 1,790 years of service, this Aviator specializes in vertical delivery of high-value items. He is flight deck and VDEL qualified. He is also a Public Affairs Specialist.
Also recalled, were LCDR Dasher, Master Chief Dancer, Senior Chief Prancer, LT Vixen, CDR Comet, Chaplain (LCDR) Cupid, PO1 Donner, and PO1 Blitzen, an Individual Augmentee from Coast Guard Headquarters. Ensign Rudolph is also authorized to report for duty; however, he must first successfully complete flight deck training, which he has failed three times.
Although the above troops are on orders for only 24 hours, it is anticipated that they will submit a travel claim for 24,901 miles at .545/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 and physical fitness standards. Per diem has been modified to include large quantities of hot chocolate and cookies.
Go Coast Guard! Semper Paratus and Merry Christmas!!!
