Coffee is a Drug, I don't do Drugs

New BMET Crew

A lot has been going on here. We have been doing the "Left-Seat, Right-Seat". In other words, a turn-over for new people so the old people can train the new people. VIPs have been coming in and out, evaluations and awards are being passed out for old people, old people move out of the barracks, etc. It has been a hectic week for all.

First Medical Brigade sponsored a Dining In which is a formal dining session where there are a lot of rules that are easy to break. When a rule is broken, the violator is asked to drink from the "Grog" bowl. This grog bowl had the nastiest stuff such as entire bottles of hot sauce, a sock, etc. The first violators were people without their identification, Dogtags. Half of the room were not wearing their dogtags. The procedure before drinking from the Grog included doing four left faces and with each left face, render a salute. Take two more steps in front of the grog bowl, take a bow and drink a cup. Then, put the cup upside down on your head to see if you drank the entire cup. It was quite humorous and it was a good time to poke fun at people. Another obsurd rule included that you can't applaud until "Mr. President" applauds. The night was full of funny skits and shows which demonstrated lower enlisted making fun of their superiors and superiors making fun of their superiors. Real good time.
