Westside Crips: not such a bad suggestion after all!

Today, we spent the better part of 45 minutes revisiting the whole motto issue as a group. Now, I'm not saying that we're the Bad News Bears of the Armed Forces, but you might have started to wonder if you'd had a transcript of this whole debacle. My personal favorite moment of the meeting was the class taking a moment to ponder the following suggestion: "You down with OBC? Yeah you know me!" No? Can't yell that at a brigadier general while saluting and keep a straight face? Well, then, how about this gem: "An Army of One Too Many" [insert groan here]. This one you'd probably have to meet my group to understand. You've heard the description "it's like trying to herd cats?" Yeah, in case you'd ever wondered where that saying came from, I'm happy to report that it was first used to describe a gaggle of OBC officers such as ourselves attempting to march anywhere in formation: instant hilarity, people everywhere. Altogether, there were probably about 40 suggestions, and most of them were terrible, and the rest were even worse. I'm sure the whole "Westside Crips" thing probably isn't sounding so bad to Maj. C. at this point. Anyway, we laughed so hard at ourselves that I'm plain tuckered out tonight. However, I'm going to try to get some rest...today yielded no shortage of funny bits, including my friend A.'s Oatmeal Incident. Anyway, a retelling of the rest of the ridiculousness from today will have to wait for another night, so it's off to get some rest for me.
