Spirit Fingers!

So one of the obvious perks of Army life, is community support. (Not all communities, but this one atleast).

Today I had the opportunity to take my children to see Toy Story on Ice. Simply because someone had the generosity to donate tickets to the families of deployed soliders. I will say, people who do things like this still amaze me.
My children not only got to see their favorite Disney Characters, but the show was kicked off with the National Anthem but the one and only Trace Adkins!!!

My personal favorite part of the show, were of course the Toy Soldiers. As I was watching them low crawl and fall into formation, I got to thinking.....

Thats what the US Army is truly missing. PIZAZZ! I've decided that if our men were to break into an utterly fabulous line dance when under attack, the enemy would probably turn around and go home. I really think, basic training should now include:
The sprinkler, the running man, and the cabbage patch.

I think when led into combat, they should occasionally break into a step, ball, change. When they come across a possible IED, maybe a little interperative dance is required. The next time, an enemy combatant is subdued maybe a little Tango is called for? When victory has been achieved, they shall all do The Wave.

So with approximately only 4 months left till re-deployment, I think these guys need to get to work. When they come into the Welcome Home Ceremony, I expect Spirit Fingers. (all of them, not just the one!)

The commander should lead off with a double axle, a flip and a loop. I don't know what any of these words mean, but I want to see them. I then want to see troop by troop, break off into the electric slide.

When the soldiers are finally released however, I'm torn. I can't decide if we need a little Kool & the Gang Celebrate Good Times, or YMCA. One seems more fitting, yet if the other were caught by the news and played world wide, I think terrorist would be less likely to screw with us.

Now I must wrap up tonights blog, I have Army Issue ACU's to bedazzle.
