5th Monday Party (?)

Last night was a 5th Monday, so a civvies day and also a party night at the squadron building. Instead, CC Williamson made it into a VERY necessary cleaning day, although we all brought some food to share afterwards. It was a great night, with no opening/closing formation, testing, promotions, or promo boards, and we didn't always call each other by our last names, like we're supposed to. We all went by our nicknames, at least those of us who had them. You want one to? Just know that over the next few meetings we'll be watching you, looking for a name that either fits or memorializes some embarrassing moment in your CAP life that you wish never happened. No, nothing really terrible, and we'll make sure you like it before it sticks. So! We started off by cleaning up the pinecones outside. No kidding!! we made a huge pile of ALL the pinecones, and then ferried them over to the gully where we left them. So now more tripping over those lousy things when you're hurrying somewhere, until the next big wind comes in. Oh well, it looks good now, if it only stays that way for a week. Inside, we vacuumed the whole floor of the Cadet Room, and pulled chairs around and such. We also moved those two tables into the middle to create a classroom setting. It looks nice. The windows were cleaned inside and out, the kitchen was cleaned, Logistics was tidyied, and the MREs that were up on that shelf? They're gone, at least most of them. I have the 12 of them that weren't chewed upon by mice. One of the culprits was stupid enough to eat the stuff that wasn't food, the dry-packs, or whatever. All's left of it was a skeleton with about half the insides still inside. If you want pics, I'll send them to you, but you have to leave either a comment on this post, or send me an email. You can use the one here if you don't have mine, although you should be able to find it. My morbid-to-no-end-ness isn't really something to post on this blog, sorry. I also came away with 12 MREs that weren't chewed open at all. 5 Chicken Stews, 3 Chunky Beef Stews, 3 Chopped Beef, and 1 Beef with Noodles. All of them came with bread, a chocolate chip granola bar, a beverage base powder, salt, sugar, and pepper. If you want to try one, come to a meeting sometime, preferably a BDUs or PT day (I will not attempt opening one in Blues), and email me before hand so I know to bring one. I'll take them camping or something, or bring them to some CAP event just for kicks, too. See you guys later,
