Pictures from the Superbowl Party

Harken back to a HEADLINES post I made last month about some deal for US Military troops to have beer during the Superbowl:



Drinking beer in Iraq!




The beer line. Leave your ID, get a mark on the back of your left hand. Return the empty for your second serving and the mark is crossed (that's it, no more beer for you). Return the second empty on the other side of the room to get your ID back.



Folks were not here at 8p for the 3rd showing of the Superbowl, they were here for the beer.




Even the Wing Commander had a cold one (with a group of Tuskegee Medics - people I work with at the hospital).




Happy Tuskegee Medics!

Superbowl Fanatics

I woke up early and came to the Rec Center to check out the folks that stayed up all night to watch the Superbowl live. Our live show started at 2a Monday.

Out in the main area are three tvs in different corners. I think the Cardinal fans separated themselves from the Steeler fans (from what I hear in all the yelling and cheering during these last five minutes).

Have you noticed how time seems to stand still towards the end of a good football game? These last 5 minutes are taking a very long time.

Ouch (those were my ears), Cardinals just scored. Guess there are a lot of Cardinal fans in here. Maybe the Steeler fans are all in the theatre room where you are allowed to drink your two beers (one at a time of course). Looks like the Bud and Coors went fast, all I see over in the corner right now is the Heinken bottles.

Sadly, no fun Superbowl commercials when we are watching via AFN. We get encouraging messages from top brass and commercials for TV shows that AFN is showing this week. And football players thanking the troops. I'll catchup with the paid commercials when I get back.
