Parade!
Hi!
So I had to go to a parade last Saturday which was mostly lame, except for the tank and I must say the all the lights from the cop cars and fire engines where all right, but the thing that I really liked was the JROTC!
Stupid cadets, I MISS JROTC I wish I had enlisted, but not really, I just miss my old platoon and the color guard, in the Christmas McAllen Parade I would always carry the Marine Core flag. Everyone was awesome and it was so much fun waking up at 5 to be at practice at 6 for the big yearly competition at the Marine Academy in Harlingen or at San Antonio. I miss those days now, and I miss inspection, and my uniform and the rifle damn that was fun. I was always 2nd or 3rd in the racing, running I forget the name.
I don't care now I want to be in the sun marching to the beat and salute with the rifle. I don't know ever since I saw them something in me just went euphoric I hadn't been in a parade in so long. Church was fine, I was a bit bored being an atheist and all. I don't care rifle, flag or no flag, I miss my squad so much. I want to march with them, I want to teach some one.
After my first two years we got a new Captain and Gunnery Sgt. They weren't the same, our first ones where from the Korean war times and they were proud in what they did, thought us history, and always liked sharpness, but they knew when to joke. After that the new ones where all about excercising. Which was my least favorite part, well except running, which of course they didn't care much for. I knew the history, the rules, the chain of command all that junk, and how to march, give and follow orders. I gave up after the first semester it sucked. The other guys graduated the new kids were a mess, and the best at push ups got up higher faster.
I wish I could go back to sophomore year for one more time.
