It's a little late but I still have to reflect on the best pool function ever before I go to SD in two weeks. Anyway, back in May our pool function was a mini-bootcamp up at Camp Ripley(Actually Fort Ripley but it belonged to the Corps that weekend) in Minnesota which has every RSS in the RS Twin Cities region present, bout 250 to 300 poolees. It was the most motivating weekend ever(I can't believe I got the most motivated poolee award) and I will always remember a few funny moments that me and some friends had up there.
1. We were getting smoked by the DI's there and one of the them came across my friends Army waterbottle. He picked the bottle up, looked at it slammed it down, and put his foot through it busting it in pieces. He said, "Army of One, guess it's an Army of three pieces now." :D Hilarious
2. We were talking to the CO of RS Twin Cities, Major Marx. Just hanging out because the event was coming to an end and we had to leave soon. My friend says something funny but stupid as ever. "Where are those DI's at? They can't hide from us forever!!!" Major Marx goes and finds 5 DI's and brings them over, we got smoked for a half hour straight. After that the DI's bursted out laughing and we went into a Q&A session and just hung out for an hour or so.
3. We got asked by a 1st Sgt what our MOS's were, we had to sound off though. We got all the way to the last guy in our pool who had lost his voice by that time so had a tough time sounding off. 1st Sgt gets in his face to make him yell louder and finally he blasts out, "I'm gonna be a ****ing machine gunner." All the Marines standing around laughed and yelled O-rah. It was great.
Anybody else got any good stories?
