Mess Night

Last weekend, Scottie's company had a Mess Night in which all of the instructors dressed up in their finest to participate in the traditional ceremony, feast, and drinking fest. The event includes many rules and traditions, with one rule being no spouses are to attend. The Mess Night is simply for the Marines. Therefore, Ali was the designated driver and had the luxury of taxiing Scottie and Anthony to and from the Mess.

During the Mess, Ali hung out with Anthony's wife Amy and the kids. Anthony and Amy arrived in 29 Palms from Camp Lejeune the same time we did back in January. Ali and Amy spent a lot of time reminiscing about how much better Camp Lejeune is compared to 29 Palms and how they can't wait to move back!

There is nothing like a Marine in his dress uniform.
