We Have Rules People!! Ah, Who Cares, Do What You Want!!

Okay, this place is truly odd...

Apparently despite the fact that guidelines are put out beforehand, you can do what you want to do and they will just allow it.  For instance:

Okay, as you already know from the school packet, no one should have a flight home on Friday before 1400.  Does anyone have a flight before 1400?  

Several hands go up.

Alright, well, we can see if we can work around that, what time are your flights?

"10:30"  "10:00" "12:30"

Well, that shouldn't be a problem.  Anyone have an earlier flight?

One hand goes up "I do, 0730"

Wow, okay, we usually have testing on Friday morning, but maybe we can work around that.

Uh, WHAT? And it didn't stop there...

I'm not sure if you know, I see some of you have chewing tobacco, we don't allow that here, as this is a federal building.

But, well, I suppose if it doesn't bother the person next to you, that isn't going to be an issue.

At this point I was nearly laughing.  Here's what I expected to hear but didn't:

Make sure you aren't running along the roads marked "No Jogging", they are 35 mph roads and it is dangerous to run along them.  Unless you want to, if you really want to you can run on those roads.

We are really cracking down on drinking and driving, it is illegal and is absolutely NOT allowed on post.  The post MP's will pull you over.  If you are insistent on drinking and driving however, just let the MP's know and it should be okay.

There is a dress code here on post.  Do not wear parts of the Army PT uniform, you have to wear it as a set, or not wear it.  Unless you want to be naked, if you feel like being naked that is fine.  Just use sunscreen, unless you don't want sunscreen.  That's okay too.

Class starts at 0700.  You can miss up to 4 hours.  If you miss more than 4 hours you will likely be dismissed from the course.  Unless of course you don't want to come to class, you can stay in your room, drink and drive, or run naked on the no jogging roads, while getting set for your 6 in the morning flight on Friday.  Pretty much do whatever you want, you'll be fine.
