Im stationed on a Navy vessel in Italy. Today the command decided to bring in some famous football teams cheerleaders. I dont know which team because I dont care. So I go to eat lunch and heres all these cheerleaders. Now, Im a straight single male so you would think this would do something for me. It doesnt. Something about it bothered me actually. I finally figured out what it was. I feel that the command thinks that by bringing in a group of very attractive women that my moral will increase. So it can be assumed that they think my morale pivots on the ability or opportunity to talk to an attractive woman. How insulting. I dont need to interact with a cheerleader to fulfil my day. My closing statement to this command “You cant buy me off with a cheerleader!”
I always wondered when you see those lame TV specials “Nick and Jessica go to entertain the troops” how they get these guys interested in seeing them?
Military troops don’t seem to mesh with my vision of a “Nick and Jessica” fan.
Do these guys get razzed pretty good if they attend these things?
Do they entice them with other things like “Free food from WhiteCastle!! at the nick & jessica show.”
On a ship onstation, or in a combat zone, boredom is pretty high. Any diversion is welcome, even if it is of the Nick and Jessica variety.
For a high profile visitor like this, too, the command will make sure an appropriate welcome is shown the visitors. If that means compelling attendance to the show, that will be done.
