I don’t believe we have ever featured the phrase “Haiku Advice Challenge” in a SAF thread title. And I have no idea why it poppped into my head to do this.
I invite you to boil down your I-Day and Plebe Summer advice for the plebes-to-be into the haiku poem format below. This is the most basic rule. No rhymes required. There are other variations on content, but this is just a fundamental structure.
Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables
Be a kind shipmate.
Look for the good in each day.
Rejoice in salt air.
Note: “Make your momma proud” certainly meets the criteria. All are welcome to post their advice, including any appointees who want to take a shot at reminding themselves of what’s important.
