So today I went to my OSO's house and celebrated the Marine Corps Birthday. We sat around talking, watched the Commandant's message on TV, and did the usual: cutting the cake with a saber, singing the Hymn, etc... The entire drive home I was humming "From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli...." Overall it was fun. Just the usual dinner party shit. I met two guys who might be in my class this summer (both of them JAG candidates) so that was pretty cool. We talked about training, debated some infantry tactics, crushed beer cans against our foreheads while screaming "oorah!" (j/k), you know, the usual shit. It really amazed me how stupid some of them are. Some of them are really smart (one guy already has a B.A. and a M.A. and is now in Law School) but 2 or 3 of them were rocks! These are the guys that have a unerring faith in their government and believe every word Bush ever uttered about the war in Iraq. These are the same guys that bragged about having only read 4 or 5 books in their lifetime. sad really. Talk about perpetuating a stereotype...
On a completely different note, I've been fixed up on a blind date (well, date is really a nice word...let's call it a booty initiation) by this girl I know. So wish me luck. It's been 6 months since I've touched a girl (outside of Judo). So I'm actually kind of nervous. Who would have thunk it...
