For those ‘little’ company Christmas parties…
Stole this from one of my military groups, and I’m betting ANYBODY that was in the military will be cringing at some of them.
But, these days, they also apply to those company parties, especially if there are woke elements out there!
Feel free to replace the military structure with your company structure, and I’ll bet it still holds true… LOL
They forgot “drunken dependa fight” or the ever-popular “drunken dependa screams at Command staff for mistreating their spouse”…
Always fun to watch. From a distance. While assigned to a different command….
But, but, I always wear a belt and suspenders. I was too low on the food chain to even be aware of the command christmas debacles, luckily.
Drunk, single JO (Call Sign Skidmarks)complains to me (Ops Chief) about why he is on the flight schedule over the holiday period. Good way to get even more flight or Ready One time.
Rick- Ohhhh… Wow!
Robert- LOL, not a bad thing!
Fluge- LOL, yeah, guaranteed to get MORE duty!!!
If there were senior officers at the party, I wouldn’t drink much, if at all. Because I saw some senior officers once do some stupid shit and a LT almost lost his career because he wouldn’t put up with their drunken shit. (thankfully HIS command came to his aid – ours wouldn’t have!).
On the other hand if there weren’t any senior folks, it was just us in our flight? Oh hell yeah did I get drunk! 😀
John- Even more fun if foreign officers/personnel are involved…
Those are funny ‘square’ descriptions. Thanks for sharing that. Yes, cell phones pulled out at parties and scrolled through makes me want to snatch it up and throw it over the nearest wall. Though some of the photos stored in them are pretty memorable. So a win-lose.
My last 10 years E-9 in special duty positions. After attending two of those affairs I swore off future attendance. Probably one of my best career decisions. Yes, far too many of those are true, even not Navy. Slight twist: Hispanic secretly-held-off-the-weight-control-program in a kilt. THAT got a few pictures taken, but I never heard or saw of them afterward.
What about SEALs showing up with hookers in tow to the Command’s family party that includes a drunk master chief in Santa garb? That could be a box or two depending on the command. Or maybe times have changed?
jrg- True…LOL
Bob- Ouch!
LL- Oh at least… Best one ‘I’ saw was a ‘lady’ who showed up with an Ensign…both of them three sheets to the wind.
