About Green Jelly Bean Flights

Mark Conley · March 3rd, 2004

At one time at a remote site I was at, married service members were intitled to what the troops called a Green Jelly Bean Flight, or a flight to home visit from a long term overseas short tour, for morale purposes. Since the man was usally married, and had big kids at home, the custom was to give the man a large bag of green jelly beans, (or M&Ms, skittles, ect as long as the color was green) and a sheet of instructions for their use. Mine was worded as follows:

For extra time alone with the wife:

1. Arrive home.

2. Show kids the bag of candy.

3. Open the bag, and scatter candy throughout the grass.

4. Go spend a few moments alone with mom.

5. Pray they arent fast searchers....

If your outta luck they'll not only find them fast but eat them too fast. Ahh, the sweet sound of your kids on the other side of the bedroom door:"Mummy, Daddy, my tummy hurts"

If they're that fast, then they must have good eyes, a good nose, or dead grass.

Locke	simple rememdy is make sure you get a plane which lands whlie its dark, so they you go outside and "accidently" spill the lollies lol If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
