I love how Battalion ends with a bang, Last Night is always an amazing night. Forty-Seven guys showed up to play Murderball eat a party sub and then some B-dog. The night started with Murderball and my team got slaughtered, we kept adding guys to our team but it didn't help. The final score was 7-1?(Lost track of the score.) Next it was time to partake of the nine foot party sub. While the guys ate the sub the grads were called up to receive their Bibles. We gave Kevin, Drew, Steve and d-Pod each a piece of paper with the motto written on it(Which they ate) and their Bibles. Never get tired of handing out the Bibles.(We also gave the grads a Btln dog tag with their names engraved on the back.)
After the Grad presentations Bulldog was on the agenda. The Bulldog was intense with all of the Alumni and after the dust had cleared Zac had his third Helmet win of the year. Drew had already clinched Winston at The Masters but we didn't have the ceremony until we completed the 08/09 Btln season.
The night was over for the young guys but the older guys piled into a few vehicles and headed over to Castlegar for Boston Pizza! I think that there were twenty-four of us, it was awesome. Only problem was that there were so many guys that you couldn't visit with everyone.(Good problem!)
Once we arrive at B.P. it is tradition to give the grads their Btln Medallions. The problem was Aaron left the Ark in Grand Forks!(Not that Aaron, Aaron Friesen!) (Different Aaron, different Ark.) Anyways it was no big deal, Steve and Kevin got their Medallions when we got back to Grand Forks. At one point Ryley and Dalton talked Nathan into snorting chili seeds for twelve dollars, one of the funniest things I have seen! Nathan actually did it, not worth the pain for only twelve dollars! Love the road trip on Last Night cause otherwise the night would be over to quick, and as most of you know I love road trips.
The night was almost perfect, the focus is on the grads, but there are also the new recruits from Stockade and all the other guys that are faithful all year. I say almost perfect because everyone can't always make it to Last Night. It's weird not to have guys like Bent, Jason and Joe around, but that's life.
In case you are wondering Battalion isn't really over, May 15-18 is The May Long Camp out, in June we are thinking about doing a raft race and in July we will be going to Creationfest.
THE CAPTAIN
