Pump it!
Do you ever wonder what military men and women do in their spare time?
Twenty years ago I knew that answer because I was serving in the US Air Force. While in Germany I watched television, read books, hung out with friends and traveled. While in Georgia I watched television, read books, and hung out with friends.
I’m sure things are pretty much the same in today’s military. People are just people who do what they do.
But every once in a while someone has a “scathingly brilliant idea” (to coin a phrase from the Hayley Mills movie The Trouble with Angels) that really shakes up your world. An idea that makes you step out of your sane and sober world into a zanier, funnier place.
It’s my guess that that is what happened to the men and women who participated in the following fun music video. Watch the whole thing… my favorite part is near the end.
The Sun Kings of VAW-116 do their own version of “Pump It’ by the Black Eyed Peas.
As I watched the video I wondered which people were reluctant participants. I wondered how many people watched from the sidelines, had a laugh at the antics of their peers, but were unwilling to put themselves in the movie.
What scathingly brilliant ideas have you had but failed to act on? What scathingly brilliant ideas have you been invited to participate in and rejected?
What have you done lately to “pump it”?
