Like devoted fans, about 100 servicemembers anxiously awaited Clyde’s arrival here on March 7. And, like a true celebrity, Clyde was fashionably late.
“I wanted to take a picture with the camel, but where is the camel?” asked Army Sgt. 1st Cl*** Darlene Brent, with the 106th Financial Management Company out of Bamberg, Germany. “You got all these people standing out here and there’s no camel.”
Clyde the camel was an hour past due for his gig giving brief rides to troops transiting through Camp Buehring into Iraq. There was wild speculation that he’d been stopped at the front gate because he’d forgotten is identification card.
Regardless of his tardiness, Clyde provides a big morale boost for the troops, said Army Reserve Lt. Col. Sean Clark of the 2145th Garrison Support Unit out of Nashville, Tenn. The camel’s services are provided by the camp’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation services.
