First day of school mess hall is opening up. I'm getting into my Drill sgt mode for a wakeup

On the menu is S.O.S (cream chipped beef ) eggs or rooster bullets made to order. I’m gonna give the troops first call 05:30 I wanted to go 05:00 yet my wife said let them sleep till then. Boog the chocolate lab and Duncan pup the golden and man are ready to do first call like I used to experience at Benning in waking up the platoon ,although minus the trash cans getting beat on or kicked down the barracks bay.

Also no choice adjectives or screaming in faces like infantry Drill’s and reminding you that only if your mother would have swallowed on that one special night they the Drill’s wouldn’t have to deal with us boy I’m telling you talking about passive aggressive NCO’s.

This morning we will just open bedroom doors turn on the lights rip the covers beat them with pillows and dog licks watch them yawning heading in boxers to use one of the bathroom’s me stopping them in the upstairs hallway saying give me a hug as they’re scratching those hairy asses with the other paw.

At this moment the two special K9’s will already probably be back downstairs guarding the chip beef making sure the five foot four one hundred and fifteen pound lady just didn’t eat it all for herself you never know man always except the unexpected.

First up this morning on scheduling for school the sixth grader is I think English literature the two seniors aero space engineering and the other kiddo I think calculus or trigonometry. They’ll be catching the bus around 07:00 Boog and Dunk and I will watch them board maybe thinking there they go our boys man. The three of us are doing a fine job raising them oh yea the lady also.

Three minutes to pillow slinging and dog licking we’re ready get this day on.

Geez, I'd think just the Lab & Golden's wet tongues to the face would do the trick... hlthe2b Aug 2022 #1

Of course, I was always able to corrupt my pup into crawling into bed with me for a long cuddle.

I just hope that Boog isn't on the security detail for the guarding of the chipped beef and eggs.

There was an episode of MASH when that was being served and Radar remarked “It really does come on a shingle”.

I had an upper bunk in old WW II barracks. There was a fluorescent light fixture about 3 feet from me. Sarge would enter the bay, flip all the light switches on while bellowing, EVERY. BODY, UP. OUT OF BED, NOOOOWWWW! I would stumble to the floor, half blinded.
