Operation Gulf Tango X-Ray

On November 18th, RCSCC FRASER cadets got what they deserved: a field trip to Moody Park Arena.  This was a night of good old fashioned fun, as well as a few slips, slides, crashes, snowball fights, Congo lines, and playing victim to the plans of a big purple bouncy ball care of Lt(N) Aaron Stephens.

When Fraser goes ice-skating, we party the only way we know how: start a Congo line!  At the head of this line was fun-loving PO1 Quentin Flack.  Once everyone saw this Congo line, the whole Corps had to get involved.  While some were just having fun, while others were evading the camera, wielded by myself, whose sole purpose is to document the activities of the Fraser Raiders.

While some cadets were racing around the rink, others were cautiously watching the ice, hoping that it stayed under their feet where the deck rightfully belonged.  Some eventually got bored with skating around in a giant circle over and over (obviously not NASCAR fans), to combat their boredom they tried to have a snowball fight.  This devious ploy didn’t last long as, after they threw the first two snowballs they realized that they had to make more snow; Making snowballs at an ice rink is a very time consuming process.  This idea was soon left behind to resume skating under the watchful eye of the Officers.

As the cadets were getting ready to leave, waiting for parents, and exchanging their good byes the XO was attacked!  All of the Fraser Raiders who observed this were in shock, some laughed others just stood there mystified.  The attacker was the evil, big purple bouncy ball, who found its target (the unsuspecting XO’s head) and implemented Operation Gulf Tango X-ray Oscar (Get the XO).  

No matter where Fraser Raiders go, they always know how to maximize the amount of fun that they have.
