Last night the American Contingent threw a BBQ at our American Club. Usually the American Club is dead, because it is the only dry club on base. Last night, in order to draw people to the BBQ, there was beer available to us. It was free, too! But it was Bud Light, yuck. And we were only allowed to have 3, boo. AND there was a by name roster of all the Americans so they could record how many beers everyone had.
Basically, it was really lame. But did I go? Heck yes I did. I wanted 3 shitty Bud Lights and a burned cheese burger with cold macaroni and cheese.
Although this was not technically mandatory fun, it was highly encouraged. And since I'm a Staff Sergeant now, I felt obligated. I wore a cute dress and drank my warm Bud Lights quickly. Listened to the DJ play terrible music way too loud, paid for shitty BBQ food and bounced within 2 hours.

The American Club was actually pretty busy, though. It just goes to show that people will go where there is beer. I hope our leadership noticed that. Just think about how much money the American Contingent could make selling shitty BBQ if they also sold beer?? People would go. People would get a buzz and think, "Yes, a black hot dog is exactly what I need right now!"
I wish the American Contingent wasn't so uptight. All the other Contingents don't have the rules we have. It makes us seem like the lame home schooled kids in homemade clothes in comparison.
