On my first assignment with the Army (at Ft Stewart at 24th ID), I was assigned to the battalion mortar platoon. The primary FDC flew the Jolly Roger at NTC, but 1LT Helbing once, before an NTC rotation, made the mistake of calling us in the Secondary FDC "the Romper Room" because we were constantly joking around. (We did our job well, though, despite the lighthearted atmosphere.)

I went up to Savannah and located a Toys-R-Us near HAAF's main gate, and I found a Romper Room flag about the same size as the primary FDCs Jolly Roger. Just in time for NTC.
