Bowling Balls and Cash for the Better Bottom Half


Well it is now official.


Our bowling season came to an this past Wed. We also had our awards ceremony to confirm out deadlast finish. However, no team was as cool, well dressed or as fun as Thanks and Hooah. Coming in last also paid huge dividends. We not only won $225.00 as a team but we also each scored a brand new bowling ball for our astounding performance. Just as with my transformation into Adashi, our team slowly broke the the thaw that was the jukebox ban. As league play went on, the juke box slowly went from playing one song per night to a Rock and Bowl type atmosphere, minus the crazy disco lights. Fish, the once very scary bowling Nazi, became a dear friend. Jake, well he is still Jake but he also warmed to us as well. After all he was responsible for us taking our bowling seriously. Fish, who was the manager, opened up the alley to a JAG Hail and Farewell (aka forced Army fun, although with bowling how can you not have fun?) Instead of hiding our head in shame, Thanks and Hooah proudly took their bowling seriously and walked away with some good stuff. We will all be going to get our balls custom drilled today. Because of my cobra bling, it has been suggested I get a cobra etched on my ball. Just as there was "The Glove" in our league, I was "The Cobra." I can't think of a more fitting way to honor my bowling name than to have an image of the exotic snake etched into my ball. I have included a picture of our awesome team. As with everything in life, all good things eventually have to end. I will miss my teammates as two of them are leaving Korea in a matter of one week. I wish them all the best.... Thanks and Hooah!!!
