Ah, the Commander's Update Brief. Always a multiplayer show. Though PPT can drain the life out of anything - in my own self-delusion - I hope I was the drummer.
Yep, it was time to retire and find another career.
Hat tip HotAir.

Animal from the muppets must have been his idol.
LMAO! I.so.want.his.jacket. That is an inspiration to me. I need a set of drumsticks. I need to act more like that in life. Preferably when out in public with my youngest teenager. She has it coming.
Waves them sticks like a signalman.
Oh yes. They all do. My youngest seems to feel that I was placed upon this good earth to be an embarassment to her. I see no reason as yet to desprive her of that sentiment. ;)
I saw this video and my first thought was "This guy needs a better band".
<span>Hey, be nice to us comm geeks... </span>
<span></span><span></span>
<span>"You can talk about us all you want, but you can't talk without us!" </span> ;)
Liberating when they feel that wau, ain't it?
I bet Phib is wicked good with a pair of #2 pencils :)
I worked for a CDR who had a teenage daughter. I asked him if he did stuff to get attitude from her. He said, "B, I have a teenage daughter at home. A day w/o an eye roll is like a day w/o breathing."
Phib, we all wish we were like that drummer.
Best guy I ever briefed was LtGen Rollings when he had II MEF. I was in G-3 FUOPS, and had a cameo in the daily brief. Rollings was a Navy Cross winner in RVN, lost two fingers to an NVA grenade, prior enlisted Drill Instructor. He of the 40,000 situps. Always gave the impression that these briefs were as painful for him as for the rest of us, but a necessary evil.
One memorable morning someone from the G-2 shop who liked to hear his own voice was at least 2 minutes past the 2 minute limit, blathering about some trivial matter. The conversation went something like this:
"Hey son?"
"Yes sir?"
"Do me a favor and get to the f*ckin' point!"
The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not run off at the pie hole when briefing LtGen Wayne G. Rollings, USMC.
In those briefs, NOBODY was the drummer.
BTW, I wonder how many sticks, snare heads, and crash cymbals that guy goes through in a year...
I've found that to be true of most Marines...once or twice through personal experience, even... :)
Today, sir, I will conduct the CUB through the use of interpretive dance ...
All I can think of to say, is " My Goodness".
OMG! Mr. Drum Man must have been indulging in a little something back stage before this gig. He is in his own universe. Somewhere. Out there. 8-)
I laughed all the way through. Where do you find these things? Those jackets are a fashion felony, but the drummer is awesome. We should all go through life with that attitude.
simple fix... MORE COWBELL!!!
You know what you have to do to get attitude from a teenage daughter?
Breathe!
Is it just me or does the drummer look like Gary Busey's kid brother?
You guys have obviously never heard a Marine tell the "clown story." Some day when I find the appropriate disguise, I will v I will post it.
The three front guys are musicians. The drummer is a ROCK STAR!
