Parade

Okay, fuck. I am involved in Air Force Change of Command Parade. After going through 1 week of parade rehearsal, here are some things I've observed, and perhaps suggest.

1) Why can't all the Guests of Honor arrive at the fucking same time? We have to fucking come to attention and at ease so many times because they love to arrive one at a time. Here is a suggestion, meet at the nearest bus stop or have Mac together somewhere near, then walk in at the same time. Like this, perhaps about 5-10 parts of the parade can be eliminated

2) Okay, the cool shit about parade is about everybody being the same. Uniform, they say. If that is the case, why is there a need for parade bearing inspection before starting? If I am supposed to look like him, what is the point of looking at him and me ? It is not like checking for expiry date on Pringles you know? Sir, we are all the same. We were told to be and YOU KNOW IT. Give the band a break, give our arms and legs a break. I look like Jayden, Daryl, Danny, Rino and everyone else.

3) 3G soldiers are supposed to be 3G. The e-mail function has been working perhaps at least a decade ago. I know , the glamor, honor, showing off and the bathing in our fake, " HIP HIP HOORAY" . But seriously, so what if we know who is in charge? What can we do if we don't like your style of taking charge? Lol?


D'oh!
