BadMan

In April, the entire Air Wing got together for Bad Man! It's basically like Greek Games in college, just less scantily glad sorority girls and the fact that half the participants are over 26. It was fun (though mostly mandatory fun, which isn't quite as much fun) but it took up a TON of time. There were sporting tournaments all week (swimming, volleyball, football, dodgeball, golf, etc) between the squadrons; Wednesday was a cocktail party (themed, of course. This years was "Superheroes"); and Saturday night was Bad Man Ball, where you get all dressed up, decorate a table (everyone else went with the superhero theme...somehow we missed that memo, WHOOPS!) and the winners are announced.
Usually, the jets take the win. Last year, HSM-77 won; the FIRST year a non-jet squadron took first, EVER. This year, 1st, 2nd and 3rd were all taken by helo squadrons! (We took 3rd!)

HSM-77 went as "Super Fans" as their superheros; there are Japanese nationals who LOVE the squadrons and go all out in their squadron gear, taking photos, just generally excited about all things related to that Squadron. The wives went as the pilots, or their husbands equivalent. 

I failed and didn't take any pictures during the week at the sporting events, even though we were at every single one!

So photogenic
