Warrant Officer School: Class Song

Today was class day with Pete for his Warrant Officer School. I had two classes with him a finance one and an Army courtesies and traditions. They were both a bit redundant and boring. I can sum them both up in a sentence each.

Finance:
Plan and spend wisely

Army Courtesy and Tradition:
Respect for yourself and others (also don't let your wife dress like a hooker!)

It was very nice to be able to just sit with Pete! I've missed him and it felt like I was back in high school trying to secretly hold my boyfriends hand without the teacher knowing!

In between the two classes they had to break for lunch and to sing their class song. This is a long standing tradition for the WOC candidates. They write and come up with music for their class song. They then have to perform it in the Chow Hall in front of everyone is this symbolic "hanging of the hat" thing. I'm not 100% clear of the whole history behind it but it basically ushers them into their senior phase of school and allows them to now have the right to talk to each other when they eat.

Here's a video of their class song. Pete is in the center section on the right hand side. You can't really see him, but it's neat to hear the song.

Good job guys and congrats on making it this far!
