Canada Day!

So, apparently our friendly neighbors to the north celebrate their national day about the same time we do. Who knew? I didn't. Apparently that's offensive or something. Anyhoo. It was a good as time as any for the Canadians to celebrate monthly "Beer call".

One day a month every Canadian soldier and civilian gets "exactly" two beers to consume as they see fit, i.e. at a designated time and place. It's a festive time to say the least. This year, they did up the common area, otherwise known as the 1 star Mexican, in full Canadian regalia. They even went so far as to forcibly apply Canadian tattoos to unsuspecting Americans. I got two. Pictures after the jump.



As you can see it was very traumatizing. You can't really see the decorations, and I wasn't really thinking about it enough to actually take pictures, but rest assured..there were red and white maple leafs EVERYWHERE. 

Also, here's what I looked like after being viciously assaulted with temporary tattoos.
