Spork Queen
My husband company does them every year here in Vegas. I, personally, have never done one as husband has always been able to cover them. Last night, though, I did have to do one to...3000 people.
If you've never seen one, they are quite moving. Everyone is very formally dressed and they are many traditional ceremonies that they do. They leave empty tables for all that have been killed in their battlion in the last year. There were 56 empty seats. :sad:
Don't know the full story (I'm sure someone on here does), but these are basically birthday parties of the start of the company. After all the ceremonial stuff is done...THESE GUYS/GALS CAN PARTY!!!
Only thing I wish is that they would stop talking to me in military time. :wink:
I've got two more to do this weekend. Most are Marine balls.
