Milspouse Friday Fill-in #45

1. Underwear Parties, how old is too old? submitted by Wookie & Co.
   Uh, what's an underwear party??  Is that like the romance parties where you buy dildos and stuff?  Personally, I'm always too old for that.  I don't want people to know the details of my private life!  But there are plenty of people that host those parties that are older than me.  I say, when you feel too old, then you are too old.
   
2. What was your favorite class in high school? submitted by Adventures of M-Squared
   Band!  Yes, I was the ultimate band geek.  I was librarian, then president, and squad leader for the marching band, and section leader for the symphonic band, and I was in the orchestra and wind symphony.  I also took a music theory class, which prepared the crap outta me for college (thank you, Mrs P!), and we also did some orchestrating. 
   
   But that was the obvious answer, since I majored in music ed.  My other favorite class was statistics.  LOVED geeking out on numbers!  :)  In fact, I'm considering going back to college to get my degree in accounting or something math-related like actuarial studies.  Should have listened to my dad and gone that route in the first place.... Dad, you were right!
   
3. Have you ever convinced packers/movers to pack something they aren’t supposed to for a PCS? submitted by Ground Control to Major Mom
   Not technically.  :)  We usually have a box that we've packed, and label it something like "kid clothes", when it actually contains.... well, see question #1.
   
4. Blogging plays a growing roll in the media. If you were asked to embed as a blogger with a deployed military unit, would you go? What do you think your blog would be like? submitted by To the Nth
   Like, be deployed to blog about the unit?  Yikes.  I think I'm pretty OPSEC-abiding, so I don't think I would have any trouble there, but I'm not a good writer.  At all.  I just don't know how to word things sometimes.  I think my blog would be very little writing and lots of pictures.
   
5. Do you think kids should attend year-round school? submitted by Marrying the Navy
   No way!  Summers off may be a pain for the parents, but I think they're necessary for kids.  Students need some down time to bond with friends, go outside and play, or hold a job.  My best childhood memories are not in school, but out of school.  There are definitely lessons to be learned on those summers off that otherwise wouldn't be presented during the school year, so my answer is a firm no.
