45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team Ends Drought at Ft. Irwin;
Orange and Marijuana Growers Start War to Use the Post
by Special Correspondent Hawkeye Gage
The famed Thunderbird Brigade of the Oklahoma Army National Guard became the first Infantry Brigade Combat Team to perform a rotation at the National Training Center in remembered history according to the Commanding General, MG Jack Patton. “We’ve asked around and no one can recall if an IBCT ever came through before.”
While the Thunderbirds became the latest fodder for the equally famed 11th ACR (Blackhorse Regiment). The rotation saw an expected side effect. The Thunderbirds were true to their name bringing lightning, thunder and rain to the region. Ending the millennial-long drought in the Western Mojave Desert. “We are calling the drought officially over,” according to National Weather Service spokesperson, I.C Clearly. He reports that, “people are seeing grass grow in the yards without having to water them.” He added further that thanks to the 45th IBCT’s rotation, “this will go a long way to ease the water shortage in the region for weeks to come.”
MG Jack Patton has pleaded with Oklahoma Governor Kevin “I eat meat” Stitt, to extend the rotation, almost indefinitely. Governor Stitt could not be reached for comment. However, Brigade Commander, COL Cole Wiggins, did respond stating, that the “Thunderbirds go wherever we are needed. We invented the motto, “if it ain’t raining, we ain’t training.” He further stated that the Thunderbirds have responded to tornados, floods, fires and hurricanes. “Wherever we go, the packing list mandates wet weather gear to be taken, as so often rain accompanies us.”
However an additional reason for MG Patton’s plea is to beef up security at the isolated post as orange and marijuana grower have begun to feud for the now fertile land. So far it has been limited to the throwing of oranges and other less valuable produce at the marijuana growers, who have not been injured due to the dense smoke screen that seems to accompany then wherever they go.
