This was the most awesome suprise!! The backstory is that I used to have a mug at work which had my name on it, Joanne. It was one of those Bubblegum mugs with the silly saying on it. It was a long tiring day, and I dropped it, and it broke :( About a week and a half later Ben brought me tea, and I looked at the mug and saw this! It was the most amazingly thoughtful present ever. He'd custom ordered it from America, with a little Packrat Rat on one side saying "Jo's Mug" and images of some of my favourite Packrat cards on the other. Speechless!

All Officers who serve at the Barracks are assigned a mug with their name engraved on it. The mugs are 16oz pewter in the shape of a tankard, with a glass bottom. When he/she leaves the Barracks, the mug is left on the wall, to be assigned to the new arrival. He/She does receive his own personalized mug, too.
