R-day...

I was able to participate in R-Day again this year to recieve the class of 2010. It's always an amazing experience (and yes, that even goes for when I was a new cadet). There is this painting of two new cadets reporting to the cadet in the red sash and behind them are the ghosts of Old Grads wearing all the old army uniforms. I like that one a lot...I would never buy it cause it's kind of tacky sentimental crap that I wouldn't dare hang in my apartment, but I like the idea of it. In fact, that whole idea is one of the main reasons I came here-to be a part of something that was older and greater than even my own ideas about what this place means.
