Blast From the Past: 100s Night 2011

When Dan was a freshman (also known as a four degree) at the Academy, he had the pleasure of helping his roommate "decorate" a firstie's (or senior's) room during the weekend they found out where they would be stationed. It's a tradition at the Academy, and I use the word decorate loosely. Basically, they trash the rooms while the upperclassmen are gone.

I was lucky enough to be able to help Dan and his roommate Tim do this, and we had a lot of fun! I can't believe that was already a year and a half ago -- I can't wait to see what the freshmen do to Dan's room in 2014 when he gets his assignment! :)

getting everything ready

plastering the walls with military papers

and more

and even more

and, yes, even more

seriously... more

close up!

a SAMI is a room inspection, so they left this on the door...

what a mess

the pinata was full of red glitter... hahaha!

my own personal touch ;) 

this was crazy

I actually feel really bad for the guy who had to clean all of this up! Oops! 

But as per Academy tradition, if your room gets trashed, it means you're liked/respected, so it actually is a good thing! :)
