Senators and Curse words

Congressional parties come through our camps to see our forward deployed military bases. They are kind of annoying because as neat as it is to meet your congressmen, half of them just make me want to do something a little crazy just so they remember me. I will leave all names out but if you know who I'm talking about then you are probably from DC.

I follow around the boss who was the military host. I held the door for them as they left meetings or entered dining halls... in the 3 hours they were on our camp the same congressman handed me his card 3 times. The third time I started giggling at him, and barely made out a "thank you".

Then another person who makes the news often, was talking to me and all I could think was "what are you doing here?" and "I can't believe you hit that guard!" This filled my head so much I felt like I was saying it out loud. The people who had to spend a lot of time with her said she wasn't very nice, I'm not surprised.

Some of them are really genuine though and they ask the right questions. So it's neat to meet those guys. Another party came through and left hours early because they wanted to go home.

One of the Marines next door to me has the dirtiest mouth. We were all playing with possible scenarios of what will happen when he met his congressman. We were all banking on him answering the "How are you today?" question with a "F#!*ing fine Sir", we were all glad it didn't actually happen.
