What's with commisioning ball dinners? If you ask me they have become too highly overrated and should be abolished totally. What makes officers so much better and more dignified from the rest of the men in the army? The training they went through? Their rank? Their higher salary? And it's not just the guys who go crazy over these balls, the girls go gaga as well, awaiting their day to be asked to the comms ball, like some fairy tale, where a pumpkin carriage pulled by white horses will carry them in their gowns and glass shoes. Of course my opinion might probably be different if I had gone to OCS, but I didn't. Rach of course would have had many friends who went.
Rach: He bought her a golden necklace!
Me: So what? It's not like you can buy love, how can you buy love?
Rach: It's the thought that counts.
Me: I'm thinking of buying you a diamond ring now.
