Let’s have a party. MJ’s place tomorrow.
It was actually done at USNA my first class year, not sure how widespread but my company classmates and I did a bunch of them - mostly at the Company Officer (later a three star) and at our "USMC Rep", a Major who was assigned to answer any and all q's that we might have about the USMC. I think we Greenlighted Monday Night Football a few times with him and his wife. I never heard of the classes before us having this in m company so maybe it was an isolated thing.My mind also went to Red Light Green Light, but I decided against dragging another dusty sea story out of the sea chest. But - I have been part of a Greenlight on a 3-star, a great sport. He and his wife turned all the lights on, invited flag neighbors to potluck up, and the party was on. DH and I were also the recipients, and that was one for the memory books.
It’s a fading tradition, because of the linkage to overly festive consumption rates.
I cannot tell you all what these kind words from our SAF community have meant to me yesterday and today. I spent 6 hours yesterday at a canine oncologist getting the worst possible news for a beloved boxer who is otherwise vibrant and healthy, and as we struggle with what’s right for her this weekend, I am buoyed by SAF posts with good news, and knowing the ability to feel great joy is life’s counterpart to feeling great sadness.
