Hmmmmmmm
That good chance is quickly fading. No word from my CO on whether I'm going to get the pass on the USMC B-day ball. Tickets are on sale now and I've only got till, maybe, next week. I'm pretty much assuming that silence means I have to go, but then again there has been a lot going on and letting me go deer hunting is probably the last thing on his mind.
I'm going to hold off on the tickets for another day or two. I also need to find out if my new evening dress uniform will be here in time for me to get it tailored. Field Grade officers are supposed to wear the evening dress uniform vise dress blues to events like this. The friggen uniform is expensive too ($1,000+). If my evening dress isn't going to make it I'll use that as additional ammo to get out of the ball
