Christmas Party
Well first off I ain't got no pictures, what a shame.
I went to a christmas party last night with my squadron, the NWR went all out and held it at a nice hotel right off the beach down in honolulu. There were prizes (Which I didn't win) an open bar (Which I couldn't drink) and a kickin after party that lasted till 4am (Which I wasn't old enough to get into the clubs)
But I still had fun. Got to mingle with the exact same people that I work with, except they were dressed up and I got to meet their wives, which was nice. Also at one point I got out onto the dance grass and relearned the Macarina with about 18 other shipmates and naval family members. (Surprisingly I remembered how to do it.)
Unfortunately I cant say that I have two days left next week and I get my winter break, like Rachel. No, we have a change of command soon and the new CO looks very anal about things, not to mention the Wing is still in town for inspections AND on top of that the 13th kicks off the first holiday leave period, which will be leaving us even shorter than we already are and we will be switching to a 3 section 12 on 12 off 12 on 36 off schedule for a few weeks, then on top of that we have a Det coming back in a few weeks, then another one leaves at the turning of the year, and that usually drives people a little mad. Can't wait for January to roll around, I know I'm gonna need a good drink after all of this is over. :D
