   WE WON FIRST PLACE!!!
Okay. So I'm on the Color Guard team in my school, and I'm rifles, but for homecoming I was the American Flag. No biggie. Anyway. This year in homecoming, we were doing a float parade during half-time and we had an ugly banner, but still. Anyway. We finished it, but it was WET still and dew got on it and it was ruined so we had to make a BRAND NEW ONE in less than two hours...more like less than one hour because we had to wait until the supplies got there, which took about an hour of us doing nothing but waiting....

So anyway. I'm on the Color Guard so even though I didn't get to paint on the new stuff like I was suppose to and like what I said I was going to do because I had to practice with the new equipment, et cetera, they got it finished and it was great. The theme was a walk through the ages so we had the Revoluntionary flag and the present USA flag and then people dressed up for the different time periods in front of the words "WELCOME HOME. AIR FORCE JROTC". It was oh so totally fawsome.

So anyhow. We got onto the field and because they were supposedly "running late", they interrupted this GREAT rifle routine Mike and Jeff (the riflemen) made up...took about a month to get it perfect too! So I was extrememly pissed. I didn't know I loved the CG so much until they "dared" to interrupt us!!!

SOOOOO, to show them that they can't dis- the CG that way, Mike and Jeff had the ROTC float STOP in the middle of the parade and hold everyone up so that they could do the rifle routine and THEN they pressed on. OMG, Major Blake was SCARED of me because I was screaming and going nuts. I was so happy.

So anyway. We won first place and I'm so happy!! I can't believe I'm so happy!!! And Mike and Jeff were waltzing around without their shirts and we were all screaming inside the school creating loud echoes... *sigh* It was great....


Anyway...

I'm an E-8 now, a Senior Master Sergent, that handles all the enlisted peoples problems, and even though there is an E-9, about me, before they get to the officers, they are not having an E-9 this year so I am the highest enlisted and I feel so important! Y'all should just SEE my rank insignia. SEVEN stripes, baby! Oh yesh. Gotta love it.

Okay, well I'm tired. I'll ttyl.


WE WON!!! GO COLOR GUARD! PRIDE OF THE AFJROTC UNIT!!! OH YESH!! GET IT!


HU RAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
