Those of you who haven't been in the military just don't understand what a HUGE clusterfrick it is for even Brigade size event. I can't even fathom the levels of suck that are going to occur for a national-level parade in DC

Yup.

On top of the blown up weekend.........there will be COPIOUS battalion and brigade level meetings that run after hours in the days leading up.

NCOs will be up late planning what amounts to a deployment of their equipment.

Then, after the parade, there will be the reverse with late afternoons and probably weekends ensuring all equipment has returned and been accounted for.

Basically, in this parade designed to "celebrate" the military..........the one who will hate it the most will be..........the military.
