I&#39;d say over 90% of our Soldiers have never been to one so that&#39;s going to make it all the more better. I&#39;ve been explaining some of the tradition etc and they are stoked. One thing we&#39;re doing that we aren&#39;t telling them is we are going to have a Bag pipe player there(I&#39;ve heard him he&#39;s awesome)<br /><br />They are kinda concerned about the grog ceremony..lol.
