BullNav and I were unable to attend the milblog conference this weekend, because we were at the Class of ’89′s 20th Reunion. A good time was had by all. (That’s me on the left, and BullNav on the right. YES, I was in Delta Company, and he was in Alpha Company…)
Speaking of MAD-DOG DELTA, here’s one platoon about to make the left flank for the pass in review.
We have to send out a virtual Old Yell to those still in uniform who, because of hard and fast commitments, were unable to make it, like Doc H, and many many others. Hopefully we’ll all be there at the 25th. Rah Virginia Mil!
It was a pleasure to march in the parade for you guys, our (lets see if I get this right) great-great-great-great-great-grand dykes! ’89, ’89, ’89!
Thanks, JB! Print this out and present it to LTC Fridley for FIVE PTS OFF YOUR NEXT SPECIAL!
JB — no doubt that you’re completely sincere…
But! The rest of the corps thinking parade is a “pleasure?” Shenanigans!!! They were praying for rain, I know it!
Col P and BN, congrats! 89 89 89!!
Hey BR’s
Looks like it was a beautiful day for a parade. I will definitely shoot for the 25th, unless our good Uncle S has other plans for me at that time as well. I hope you had a grand time.
Best Regards BR’s
You guys don’t do reunions at Homecoming?
Man, I look a whole lot better than I felt…
Skippy – I think that there are something like 4 reunion weekends at VMI now: two in the spring and two in the fall. We always used to have just two (1 fall/1 spring), but I think they are spread out now due to the small size of Lexington (accomodations, post facilities, etc). Only 4 classes had reunions this weekend: ’59, ’69, ’79, and ’89.
John-
I’m sure that most of the Corps was praying for rain, but we had already gotten the Alumni parade on Tuesday rained out, so I figured our marker for the week had already been called in (you can only get so lucky at the I).
I feel we have an obligation to do these parades. I actually felt bad when the Tuesday one was canceled cause the one member from ’39 didn’t get to see a parade. On Saturday, you should have seen how many people rushed to help the girl that passed out. It was the classic rattling of the slings when someone goes down.
