Chapter LXVII: Regarding Ultimate Frisbee
I thought I saw the end of Ultimate Frisbee in the Captains' Career Course. My team lost every game until the post-season. Then we got so sick of the game that, remarkably, we started winning. I don't know what the deal was, but apparently, we even suck at deliberately trying to suck.

The instructors at Fort Rucker take this incredibly seriously (I got zero hours worth of instruction on counterinsurgency at AVC3, but by God, I got at least ten hours worth of instruction on the strategy and tactics of Ultimate Frisbee.  I even have a tag on this blog just for ultimate frisbee), so imagine my surprise when our team wound up beating nearly every major and colonel on Fort Rucker in a game of Frisbee.  I think this victory was unprecedented.

Anyway, our companies had a little competition amongst ourselves yesterday morning. Me being me, I decided to make two teams for my company--but what to name them? I could just call them "Team 1" and "Team 2", but that just wouldn't suffice for me.

What to do? Well, the solution is simple. The previous day, I was looking at the rules of UF on Wikipedia, when I noticed that many of the diagrams for the rules and plays of UF use two hypothetical teams. These teams have names.

Folks, this is by far the most awesome idea ever. If you take the "Greedo shooting first" idea that George Lucas had and took the inverse of it, that would be how awesome this idea was.

Look carefully at these pictures. You will notice that the teams are referred to as "Team Ninja" and "Team Pirate". I decided to follow suit. The decision seemed to be popular, except I had one soldier who protested and thought that "Team Cheezburger Cat" was better than "Team Pirate". (I'm not kidding about this either. That cat is so popular around here that we even made a security badge for PVT Cat, Cheezburger.)

You have to click on these pictures to truly revel in their pure awesomeness:



I particularly like the design on the t-shirts and the Pirate defender saying "Force Home, Yarrrrr".
