Goodbye's

Today is the last day for the seniors of our school. It's quite sad to see them go. This morning the seniors had fired up their car engines making a ruckus just for the sake of "living life to the fullest" and "live like we're young" in front of the lower class men and of course cherish their last memories before they graduate. We made the most out of this day today in JROTC, our senior leadership had passed the thrown to their successors and gave their last speech before finally moving on. Our Command Sergeant Major told us we were the number one company and he loved us "I was born in bravo i'll die in bravo." Bravo pride. He told us that despite the stress we made through the year and cherished precious memories. We had group hugs and despite the drama he managed to joke. He originally planned to give us ice cream as a good bye gift but he had his check late. Instead he sang for us "She will be loved" by Maroon 5. It was funny because he our Company commander had to sing to us as well but she didn't want to, unfortunately. Instead she gave us a big speech which almost made every one of us cry. In the end of the day after eating the party food we all chipped in, we all had a group hug. It's sad to see them go since they were like family while we were in JROTC, once a person is affected the whole company is affected. If someone dies everyone dies together, we charge with flying colors because that is how we roll. It's just so hard to say goodbye, and it's not easy to say it because those who are leaving are those who had been there for you and treated you like family despite hardships and accomplishments.
