HOORAY for Lt Biscuit! It's always such a treat to see new photos of Lt Biscuit and Lt Col Root Beer. Wish we had a 699th Photo of the Day topic with photos and VIDEOS

Thank you to all the 699th Team Members who helped clear this photo through what must be mountains of security and clearance so we could enjoy it.
JPC definitely is seeing an operation going on; the "TDY in Sardinia" and "Replace golf balls with land mines and you could believe that the 699th has a platoon with additional advanced invasion support capabilities". After seeing this story, JPC's idea sounds even more right -- if it's $15,000 per Dachshund, a platoon with invasion support capabilities sounds downright reasonable. And as JPC said, he's spotted a LOT of Dachshunds. Lt Biscuit looks like she's on HIGH ALERT after receiving some highly classified material.
Italy Will Pay People Over $15,000 to Move to the Island of Sardinia
By Margherita Cole on September 13, 2022
Italy is a dream destination for many people. Between the stunning landscapes and the long history of art and culture, there is a lot to appreciate in this small European country. And while most people plan on only visiting, there are increasing opportunities to move to certain regions. Not only that, but the Italian government is even paying people to relocate.
One of the most recent initiatives is aiming to encourage workers and families to settle on the beautiful island of Sardinia, which is just off the west coast of Italy. Like many other parts of the country, Sardinia is suffering from a shrinking population and weak economy, so the government is using a total of about $44 million to distribute to those willing to move to the idyllic island.
Of course, this attractive offer comes with some requirements. In order to receive the maximum grant of €15,000 (about $15,195 USD), applicants must be willing to transfer to a rural municipality with less than 3,000 inhabitants and live there full-time—this is intended to deter wealthy buyers from taking advantage of the scheme to create luxury holiday houses. Furthermore, the money must be used to purchase and renovate a Sardinian home, and the recipients of the funds have to register their residency in Sardinia within 18 months of their arrival.
The hope is that more workers will be enticed to move to Sardinia, and bolster the economy by filling needed occupations and starting small businesses. “Thanks to the contributions to their first houses,” says Sardinian President Christian Solinas, “this is strengthened and becomes fertile ground for those who will move there or decide to build a family. There can be no growth without a real enhancement of the territories, of the interior and most disadvantaged areas, which must pass through new policies for their repopulation.”

All Americans appeal to the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Illuminati Air Force for some clarity on this Sardinia mission, and for an update on the 699th Midterm Election plans. America is counting on the 699th!
