Wow, I went to some thanksgivings with maybe 25 people, at a max. Usually a lot less.
Growing up, mom would get the biggest turkey she could get. We would always invite some single officers, usually 1st and 2nd Lt. and Captains that were stuck on base and could not get back home. We usually had 4 to 6 men come over to eat dinner with us, and leave with some leftovers. Dad could not invite enlisted men as that is not allowed for officers to socialize with enlisted, without special permission.
