Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsFirst 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. Im 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 Drills and reminding you that only if your mother would have swallowed on that one special night they the Drills wouldnt have to deal with us boy Im telling you talking about passive aggressive NCOs.
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 bathrooms me stopping them in the upstairs hallway saying give me a hug as theyre scratching those hairy asses with the other paw.
At this moment the two special K9s will already probably be back downstairs guarding the chip beef making sure the five foot four one hundred and fifteen pound lady just didnt 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. Theyll 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 were ready get this day on.

(12,181 posts)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.
