Military Ball

This weekend Jordon and I went to the Military Ball. It was a lot of fun. There were a ton of people and we met a lot of new people. We went with a couple of our friends, Carte and Fallon. The guys had to wear their dress blues with a few moderations. They wore a white button down shirt instead of their blue one and they didn't have to wear their hats. When we got there, there were a bunch of honor guard men standing outside the entrance and when someone walked in they would hold their swords up over your head. It was really neat.

Me and Jordon got professional pictures made and then walked around and introduced ourselves to a few people. We met the Lt. Col., Capt., 2nd Lt., Col. Hall (President of Tyndall AFB), officers that Jord has launched out in his jet, the medal of honor holder, and many more!!! It was really fun, then they rang a bell calling everyone to the ball room for dinner. The ball room was amazing, it was huge.

Everyone had a specific table that you sat at during dinner and the introductions. We had table 10, so we were right up front!! We were right by the stage. Once everyone got to their seats they presented the colors and stood at attention for the National Anthem. Then they recognized the top people of the base. We all toasted USA, the base, and certain people. Then the saddest part of the night was when we all were seated and a bagpipe player began a song and the honor guard marched toward an empty table seated for one, with 5 wine glasses on it, it was a toast for all the fallin soldiers. The table Jordon and I sat at was right beside it. It was really special. I would have to say that was my favorite part of the night.

Then we ate an amazing dinner and watched a slideshow of different events and people on base. Jordon was on the slideshow playing golf with his Captain. It was really neat. After dinner there was a cake cutting and then entertainment and dancing. We had an amazing time!
