The unit before us was really big on waffle breakfast events and volleyball events, my Chaplain was quick to say that wasn’t his thing but if soldiers wanted it we would do it.  So we helped with a joint waffle breakfast, I’ll say this it took so so so much prep for an event that lasted about two hours.  We had only one truck and it took about three trips across post just to get the tables and chairs.  Over all the event was a hit and everyone enjoyed it but wow what a lot of work it was.

So we had a big ceremony for the change of command.  We had all the state flags, I snuck a picture with the Cali flag.  We all stood in formation and the commander who was leaving put their colors back into a bag and our command un-cased our colors.  It’s a tradition that has gone on and on through history.  I was proud to be serving in this way knowing that I had many months of work ahead of us before we would but our colors away and the next group would take over our mission.
