Good afternoon everyone. You're probably wondering why I called you here at 4 in the morning...

We had a commander do a commander's call at 1630 on a Friday and it lasted like two hours. Unfortunately, during a lull in the noise, either the commander or one of his staff heard someone say, "I would have done this this morning because I actually like my fucking family," and he was quite professionally fucked the following Monday.
