This is from Friday April 24th- Promotion of the FREE Harlem Ambassadors Event here on base this coming Wednesday May 6th, I mentioned it in a previous post.
Last week was very packed to say the least. Monday I was told to give the "Welcome, this is what MWR has to offer" speech at the new class in-doc. I went for the humor to start, and asked them "How many of you got off that plane, over the Golden Gate Bridge, started seeing endless numbers of cows and thought- 'where the heck am I going?'" The base literally is 25min from the nearest town, and remember town, not city. Evidently it was memorable and they liked it, I had a few guys recognize me throughout the week and thank me for the information on the MWR.
Tuesday I had to collect the Enterprise Keys from the drop box, and report the number of cars to the company. Unfortunately someone brought a car back late and Enterprise called asking if there was another Dodge Caliber in the parking lot/keys in the box. So I had to do the whole procedure twice, and who ever it was that rented that car got charged a late fee. *Note: Be on time! It makes everyone's lives easier and cheaper for you*
Wednesday I had my final report bound! Yikes, already? So soon? It's true... I mailed it off Friday.
Thursday was my last MWR Management Team Meeting, not very much for me to do since I will be gone. So I listened and shouted out a few ideas here and there.
Friday was absolutely insane (CDC Musical with the Stars). First, we had beautiful weather all week, beautiful! Friday it absolutely poured ALL day. So getting props and children to the theatre dry was near impossible. I had made 60 programs to be passed out, and (fortunately?) we ran out and I needed to make 25 more. I am SO thankful to FS2 Paone, he was a life saver and my source of sanity in the midst of chaos. Toddlers and Preschoolers have no attention span, and cry at the drop of the hat, so the whole "program" quickly got thrown out the window and Sam (FS2 Paone) and I were dealing with all the last minute changes- lights, video, moving props, curtains, music, microphones. We pulled it off, the kids raised some money, and their parents loved it. If only they knew what it took behind the scenes to make it happen!
I have 5 working days left, and I leave Saturday morning for my roadtrip home... I can't believe I'm almost done. We're graduating so soon!
Wow! You got to work on so many different and unique events during your internship, you're going to be really prepared for a career in this industry! I loved reading all of your posts, good luck with everyting and keep in touch! Graduation, here we come!
