"The Human Flag"

We've been working on a particular evolution for the last three or four weeks. Everyone's tired of it, but if I get a chance to post a photo of the completed thing, it'll hopefully look cool.

Lately, the higher-ups have been canceling liberty for this practice, including weekend liberty. Nobody's happy. We've been told so many times that this is a good thing that we don't believe it anymore. Today, Chief came out to address us on the subject.

"There will be times in your Navy career..." everyone groans, and he grins. We hear this line more than we ever want to, and it always leads to the same thing. Well, almost.

"You've been hearing for weeks what a historic event this is, and what an honor it is that we get to be a part of it, and I know you don't believe any of it. But months from now, maybe years, you're going to look back on today, and it will just be another Friday that sucked."

We all cheered. :D
