Territorial Executive Councils began on Monday, 13 Feb with the noon meal. It was reminisent of our arrival two years earlier when the first thing we did was attend the February Executive Councils.
There was the normal business that needed to be taken care of including talking about the upcoming transfers of appointments for the Officers in the Territory.
I decided rather than talking about the content of the Councils, I would fast forward to Tuesday evening when we had a TEC Valentine Fellowship in the Ward's flat.
Colonel Marguerite prepared a very nice event and everyone needed to wear something red.
To get things started everyone was to take a little candy valentine heart (the kind with a very brief message on it). People were asked to come to the middle and act out the saying on their heart and have people guess what was written there. It was fun to watch the performers.
They also had Major Salamat dress up like a woman and sit in front of a mirror to make himself beautiful. He was assisted by Major Haroon who was behind him and became his arms and hands. The lipstick never made it on his lips, but rather all over his face.
Another game we played was pin the heart on the angel's wing. The girls team won but I think they cheated. It didn't matter, the boys team cheated too.
I tried to get around to get pictures of all the couples but only managed to capture some.
They wanted to include a TEC farewell for us and we were presented with a gift and kind words by Captain Washington. He said they were good at doing welcomes but for farewells, not so much. When it was my turn to respond I told him I would do a reverse garlanding, and removing my red tie I put it on him.
Lynn also shared a response and expressed our thanks for all their love and support. We know we will never be the same for having served in the Pakistan Territory.
