Oh where to start......
I'm going to start with Friday the 13th.... School was on a 1200 dismissal and my best friend stayed the night because we had a drill meet to go leave for at 0345 Saturday the 14th.
Its Saturday the 14th at 0315 two cadets have not shown up, then the father of these two cadets arrives and says they cant go because they are extremely drunk and have just been bailed out of jail. So we load the bus we travel to Council Bluffs... It has been decided that K.D. will command exhibition and we will march with a hole, and I, being the alternate, took on the competition color guard (another story to be told later). Our first event was at 0940 Unarmed Regulation, we get to that point it goes well, the biggest problem was probably alignment. Now, in between the time we arrived and unarmed reg, exhibition practiced in the parking lot and I worked with the other rifle to make sure we could get in sync for color guard. After that I had approx. 30 mins til color guard. We get on the floor I am basically shaking I am so nervous, but everyoones says I did really well, now here's the kicker, we get to a point in the routine that I only knew how to do from the left side ( Colors Reverse March) and no one thought about it, including me, so I just made it up and continued on, however, the minute I got off the floor I started to cry because I felt really bad, and The Commander ( brother) said that it wasnt my fault it was his, but I didnt see it that way. After Exhibition ( considering the circumstances went well) we left and went to the golden corral. My table was the best, somehow one cadet burped and i got something on my shirt, then at desert we all started doing gummi bear shots!!!! It was awesome... We get home, go through the rest of the weekend. Now here's Monday.........
I get to 5th hour we do the attendance thing, Captain calls me into his office to tell me... I have become the BN S-3 because the two people that got drunk were the BNCO and XO so they got fired, brother moved up and I took his place because I was supposed to become his assistant anyways. Now during 5th hour the AI was showing the drill tapes he took of the team and started literally bragging about me because, I held my composure throughout the rest of the color guard routine which surprised him greatly. So now I am a C/CPT and think I am doing pretty good. I think I covered all the important things so....
Peace
Love
