More Fun in the Field
We just completed week 2 in the field. It was good training (as they like to say when something is stupid, but you are still doing it be cause you are in a military school (TRADOC: Training and Doctrine)). I did learn a lot, but it could have been condensed in to three days instead of making us stay out there for five. As field exercises go, this is the most luxurious one that I have ever been on. Hey, if I can get a shower every night, then I will do almost anything. I don’t like being sweaty with no hope of cleaning off the funk from the field for three days. We only have next week left and then I will be done with BOLC 2! One school down, one more to go, However, I found out that I am squad leader for next week, so it will not be stress free!Even with being told that I will be squad leader all next week, I am allowing myself to get excited about my wedding. I picked up my dress from its second alteration (I lost more weight so I had to have it taken in even more!!!). I am taking it with me to NJ so that CR can take it to a cleaners in Tampa to be cleaned and pressed for the big day. It is coming up so quickly. Only sixteen more days left! Funny how life creeps up on you, I have been so busy with school that I have not let myself get excited about the wedding. Now I look forward to the beach and having my friends around me. It will be a good time. There are still some last minute items to take care of (like the music selection) but I am sure that Buffett will be a staple of the evening.
The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful
Play ball!! (one, two, three, four)
Wheres my per diem? (ladies and gentlemen, the carl reiner band)
Hey bobby, wheres the keys to the rent-a-car?
Jimmy, jimmy, can I open the show in Atlanta please?
Warning! don’t ever start a band!
He worked hard all year, just wanted a few weeks alone
But his old ladys into modelin, she can’t get away from a phone
Besides she bitches about the mosquitoes
She says, down there is nothing to do
Her goddamn phone never stops ringin
He’ll try the service in a day maybe two
Well he’s on his third drink before the wheels of the plane leave the ground
Making points with the stewardess high over long island sound
She’s also spending some time on the island
Too much city madness gives her the blues
They make a date to go dancin and dinin
It seems neither has that much to lose
Chorus:
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
My thoughts aren’t too clear but don’t run away
My girlfriends a bore, my job is too dutiful
Hell nobody’s perfect would you like to play?
I feel together today
Well now that’s just the start of a well-deserved overdue binge
Meanwhile back in the city certain people are starting to cringe
His lawyers are calling his parents
His girlfriend doesn’t know what to think
His partners are studying their options
He’s just singin and orderin drinks
Chorus:
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
The skies are too clear life’s so easy today
The beer is too cold, the daiquiris too fruitiful
No place like home when you’re this far away
I don’t care what they say (I don’t care)
Hes goin back to New York pack it up and let everyone know
It was something that he should have done such a long time ago
Still time to start a new life in the palm trees
Ah, Billy Clyde wasn’t insane
And if it doesn’t work out there’ll never be any doubt
That the pleasure was worth all the pain
Chorus:
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
The skies are too clear lifes so easy today
The beer is too cold, the daiquiris too fruitiful
No place like home when you’re this far away
Time for to play
I need time for to play
Time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play
