Game day BBQ and times

Game day schedule (times subject to change without notice)
     - morning drill (not sure on the exact times yet, the directors haven't told us)
     - 12:25 first call
     - 12:40 fall in
     - 1:00 step off
     - 2:30 kickoff
     - BBQ immediately following game/victory yell (I'm hoping that we are eating by 7:30, but it might be later) on the basketball courts behind Dorm 9.

BBQ
     After much discussion, we have decided to have the outfit BBQ after the game on Saturday night.  I know that this might mean a late night, but with the game being early afternoon, we felt that there might not be enough time before the game to cook, set up, eat, and clean up and still not feel rushed.  It was probably doable, but I don't think that it is necessary to feel stressed out about something if we can avoid it.  I understand if you need to leave right after the game in order to make it home.  Hopefully our remaining games will be either earlier in the day or later, just not right in the middle.

     The menu for the first BBQ - cost 6 dollars
           2 hotdogs
           Chili
           Beans
           Chips
           2 bottles of water with flavor packets
     I really wanted to make sure the first BBQ was simple so we could ensure that it would be prepared and ready when everyone showed up after the game.

     One thing that will be different than previous BBQ's.  Instead of waiting for most of the group to show up before starting serving, this week we will begin serving at a certain time and as people show up they can pay and get their food.  This is to allow people the chance to eat quickly and leave if they need to.  I'm probably going to shoot for serving 30 min after the last event ends, whether that is the game or victory yell, but I will decide a final time later.  If you don't hear a final time by game time, ask the your cadet because we will at least tell the outfit Saturday morning.
 
     Also, part of me thinks that 6 dollars is kind of steep for 2 hotdogs, but we are having to purchase permits to serve food this year and this allows us to cover the price without dipping into outfit funds.  I have told everybody that the point of outfit BBQ's is not to make a ton of money, but I would like to turn a small profit each week in order to help pay for outfit activities later in the year.  For example, when we go play paintball as an outfit, we might buy paint for everyone and the only cost to your cadet will be the entrance and gun fee.

I hope this answered more questions than it created.  Look forward to seeing everybody this weekend.

In Relentless Pursuit,
