What an event it was! The party was over a year in the making. Planning commenced the minute I touched back down in the United States. Over 100 people attended. They included friends, cadets from the Providence College AROTC battalion, and even a West Point classmate who flew in from Chicago. The party was advertised as an all-nighter. It was. The first guests arrived around 1900 on the 26th. Two cabs arrived at 0730 the next morning to pick up the last ten. Damn it was an awesome party. I believe everyone had their fill of food and drink. The party was expertly catered by Kaveman Roasting Company. The menu included pulled pork bbq, smoked chicken wings, and bbq beans. There was plenty to drink. The party consumed at least 12 cases of Yuengling, 4 cases of various other types of beer, three bottles of bourbon, a bottle of gin, half a bottle of scotch, half a large bottle of tequila, and multiple bottles of wine. Many cigars were smoked around a firepit out back. Many toasts were raised. I toasted my team - some of whom are still in Iraq.
It was a party for the ages. Before the night was over the cadets proved that college students continue to be creative on drinking games. They formed two teams and lined cups up along the driveway. Then they dropped their pants and clinched quarters between their butt cheeks. You can guess the rest.... Most of these guys commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Army a short month later. I think I'll stick to beer pong or flip cup.
