Fun amateur Navy video
This involves a number of my friends. I first saw it a few months ago and was blown away. Lots of fun. Filmed aboard the USS Lincoln (my old ship from 1997-2000)

These are the same folks who provided aid to Indonesia (Banda Aceh) after the tsunami, BTW.

1. That song always makes me think of Wes Clark
As Clark went to greet the next veteran, I held my arm out in front of him and said, "It's great to see an OutKast fan running for President." I had no idea how he would respond. This Veterans Day event couldn't have been more removed from anything remotely linked to MTV or the rap world. But, the General immediately lightened up and grabbed my hand while laughing. Suddenly Clark and I were completely surrounded by reporters and he whispered into my ear, "You gotta shake it like a Polaroid picture," quoting lyrics from OutKast's recent hit song, "Hey Ya!" My question had been answered.

Not until hours later did it occur to me that a top Presidential Candidate, West Point Valedictorian, Oxford Rhodes Scholar, NATO Supreme Commander, Kosovo Operation Allied Force leader, and United States General had actually whispered rap lyrics into my ear.

4. Thanks Cuauhtla, that was very entertaining!
I'm glad to see that these wonderful young (and not so young) people are able to let off a bit of steam in between their duties. I hope a lot of people get to see this!
