SuperBowl and General Order No. 1

According to General Order #1, military deployed to Iraq cannot consume alcohol (and a whole list of other prohibited things). General Odierno, however, authorized a one-time waiver and everyone gets two beers during the SuperBowl as a "morale booster". There is a catch though. You must actually attend the organized function during the SuperBowl hours to drink the beers...that's 2:00am to 6:00am over here. I decided that I am far too old to stay up all night to watch the SuperBowl just to have two beers. It's not worth making the entire next day (work day) painful.

I did wake up in time to watch the last quarter in my CHU. Looks like I missed a great game, because the last 4 minutes were awesome. Go Steelers!
