AF Griffins

I wish I had gotten a picture of this, but “entry point + military base + camera=not such a great Idea, Bob” but anyway, as we came in to work this morning, (we cut in through our local AF base as it saves us time and traffic)  who should we see standing there and waving at the cars in the checkpoint but a guy in a griffin costume.  Really quite a good one.  The local AF post’s mascot is a griffin, to go with Ft. Bragg’s dragon.  I think he was there to promote their Halloween events over the weekend, but as we didn’t ask the gate guards, we’ll never know.  And because the Air Force is a class organization, there was ANOTHER one at the outgoing gate.  Sometimes I love my job.

Oh, and we got to see a C-130 come in to land over our heads on the way in, too.  Busy day.  The military really DOES do more before 9 am than the rest of us do all day.
