Pics From School/ROTC

Chillin on the almighty Quad with some buds on campus... the back row (l-r) is Scott(my boo, yo), Kerry (cool chick), Liz(who is in Marine boot camp right now- mad props to lizzy!) and Tom (he's a cool guy from my dorm) I'm the quack in the front

Me on the almighty Quad

Pics from Rapelling

Dude, college rocks! I got to go rapelling with my ROTC organization, the Pershing Riflemen! It ruled! Here's some nifty pics!

Don't give me that shit- you'd have pissed yourself. That's me- sixty feet up from the ground hanging from a rather thin cord upside-frigging-down. That was SO much fun.

I bet Sarah would have an easier time undoing my harness if I weren't lunging at the camera...

No, that's not a photo trick..I really am standing on the side of a building. Sixty feet up. That's called "aussie style" rapelling. It was really difficult and I was walking down that wall like a drunkard, but wow was it a thrill!

After a day of daring feats, here's my war face. The girl coughing up her drink is Sarah again, while Marge is looking at that wall going "was I really hanging off that thing?"

Cotillion

Cotillion is this really nifty formal dance thrown for us ROTC peeps. We have to wear our uniforms, but we end up taking off the jackets to dance our bums off and look like a bunch of drunken flight attendants as the night wears on (not that we're drunk- we just look the part)

Here I am with my boyfriend, Scott, at Cotillion. More pics of Cotillion are on their way, so just sit tight until I get 'em.

Crud

Crud is a favorite sport of Air Force officers and ROTC cadets. This is us playing crud. Yep, it's played on a pool table. Yep, it's played with pool balls. Nope, we do not use sticks. My crud name is Laverne. My buddy Carolyn is Shirley.

Engagement Skills Trainer

Cadets with fake guns aimed at laser screens- this is the same system used for training in the police forces and the rest of the military. We get to do it for fun. Thank god it's just for fun. cuz we all suck at it!

The crew. (l-r) Carolyn, Chris, Pete, Scott, Rob, me, Robin, I forget, Michelle.

Chris proving that we suck- he's not even LOOKING at the target!

Who is that chick on the grassy knoll....oh, it's me!

Grinning cheesily as the Seargent who ran the thing told us how much we suck. (l-r) Me, Carolyn, Robin and Scott.

On the firing line....I know that's Tristan in the front, and I think the guy next to him is another Scott, then maybe Chris, and that one way on the end is probly Michelle. I just can't tell people.

Michelle and the screen we were firing at.

Exhibition Drill

Exhibition drill is pretty much marching with rifles. We use de-militarized M-1s. We get to spin them and stuff, although I am really bad at spinning. Now. I will master it eventually.

And here we are showing our moves. (l-r) Gordon, Carolyn, Robin, me, Scott

Me and Scott spinning. He does it WAY better then me because he did it in Jr. AFROTC

Me and carolyn spinning. We rule. Chicks with weapons. Hell yeah.

Practicing in front of Sensai Gordon. He is the man. He drills better than anyone.

Rob, an alternate instructor, trying to get us to walk in a straight line. Better luck next time, Rob.

Football!

Just one pic of us all at the annual Army/Air Force ROTC football game. We lost by one stinking point cuz of a bad call. But next year, we'll whoop em for sure.
