This past weekend was a pick me up to my awful week. I attended the annual Military Ball at Fort Hamilton this pass Saturday May 15, 2010. It was very different to anything I've been to before. The event was very strict and attend hut, but it was awesome. I didn’t realize how many young people serve in the United States Military. It was amazing to hear the stories the older generals told about their experiences they been through while serving and the personal struggles they conquered as well... I have a lot more respect and understanding for our soldiers serving in this war and the many who have served before.
Here's my beau and a couple of his fellow members of his unit along with one of his commanders {The Black guy in the middle}.
This was our table. We were the last table to be served which was annoying.
This above was a disgusting poison they made to represent all the American wars fought. It's called a Grog Bowl which a tradition. They put a whole bunch of liquor, dirt, worms, spices, old solder dirty socks, and many more...it was so nasty. The whole thing was people to point out each other to drink it and make funny of them as they drank. It was awesome to watch and it was funny but mighty gross.
He even got a slip of it.yuck!
Here is a couple more pictures of our night.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
we definately enjoyed our night.
