Color Guard Practice

Friday morning's work was only taken up with the trip to the base downtown to practice the ceremony. We're doing it inside in a small auditorium on base, probably due to the bad weather we've been having lately. We practiced what we thought we'd like to do, and then the master chief arrived and let us know how we're doing it. Filing in from the right side of the theater (me leading), we come to the center, halt and left face. Present arms... and then shoulder arms after the Banner is played. Right face and march off to the left side of the theater (me leading).

Whatever you do in the Navy, it is always a huge compliment to have the master chief come up and thank you for volunteering and notice your good military bearing. :)

We were picked up by the same duty driver and taken back to Point Loma right around 1100... which is quitting time on Fridays. Lunch was outstanding that day! Fresh shrimp and veggie stir fry! This was one of the best things I've had here... I am so impressed!
