Me on the other hand, during a FTX during the Superbowl weekend (And wasn't we happy about that) got tactically sneaky: I figured out where we was going to be roughly during the big game, figured out in what direction and inclination I would have point a Direct TV dish to get signal, a nice large blackout tent, and a cheap small TV, with enough cable to run all the above from the APU. 1200 bucks got you a seat for the game, the 1SG got it for free (No dummy I - and besides, the CO had an "appointment" in the rear that night).
Strangely enough it doesn't surprise me the CO had an "appointment" in the rear that night. Of course, who would be silly enough to ask the First Sergeant for money, that why everyone else was charged an extra 200 bucks to cover his free loading...lol
