Here's tonight's top ten. It was a SLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW evening, so most of these revolve around two people.

10. Babies in those front carrier things are beyond adorable. Just literally hanging out. This baby had the sweetest smile ever and props to her mom for feeding her cheeseburger!

9. NOTE TO SELF: if ever in military it is NOT a good idea to manifest, visit the USO and then decide not to board. Potential for instense situation exists and you should remember to never take that route.

8. Two of the cutest kids ever ate more food than anyone I have ever seen. They kept coming back, can I have this? What about that? I'm pretty sure it was some sort of test and I think I can say I passed.

7. Nice AF guy sitting at the bar sipping luke warm water (let's not talk about the uncool cooler, okay??) says to me, "Is your husband in the military?" I give my standard reply of "No" to which he says, "I bet you get asked that a lot, huh?" I asked if he read my blog and was just teasing me.

6. Funny: Soldier asks for three ham and cheese sandwhiches. I didn't say anything, who am I to judge, right? I had them over and he immediatley begins to explain that they are for some other soldiers watching his bags. He starts to take the sandwhiches and walk off. This happens a lot. I tell him they need to be heated. Cause you know, they're FROZEN.

5. Same soldier heats frozen sandwhich and one EXPLODES. So funny. I was dying.

4. Military kids are just so awesome. I had a young man who's daddy was a marine sit at the bar with me for close to an hour. He entertained the crap out of me. He sang bad Barney songs and keep telling me how cool the USO was. He kept running off to check out things I would mention - like the x box and foosball tables - and reporting back that yes, they were indeed where I had indicated. He tried pretty much everything, eating only a bite here and there and then asking me if it was okay if he threw it away.

3. Same kid asks to play Halo 3, again who am I to judge. Mom signs for it and he comes back not 2 seconds later saying he's changed his mind and doesn't want to play.

2. Last story about this kid, but it's great. Tonight we had one of those peg games like they have at the cracker barrel, you know where you jump pegs with the goal of only having one remain? Yeah. Those pegs were picked off my snipers - his words not mine. Again, who am I to judge?

1. Best part of the night? After JJ gets a card from a super hot super tall super built 285 lbs of soldier I walk calmly to the back room and stick my head in the freezer. Then I turned around and started jumping up and down and JJ walked in the room and we did this crazy oh my god that did not just happen dance. One word for JJ - LUCKY!!!

Although it was slow, there are memories to share. The AF guy mentioned in the list also said to me that he was basically tired of being asked his opinion on the war. I said to him with mouth hanging open, "They actually asked you that?" I couldn't believe it. I told him I would never do that, that I had in fact never done that. He was totally beat down by it and I felt really bad for the guy. For most, it's just a job, like we all have. Whether we agree or disagree you still have to do your job - or at least it's that way for the majority. Leave our guys alone - talk to them about sports or juice or rainbows but keep their job out of it. If they want to talk, they'll talk.

Until next time. There I go, saving the world, one army brat at a time. ;-)
