I spent an hour today, much of it in the rain, shoving cups into a fence to spell out welcome home messages, and attempting to put signs up around base, because several dets were coming home today/tomorrow.
I'm happy to do this stuff if it really makes a difference, but as I was standing there getting rained on, I wondered if anyone really cares if the fence has missed them and is happy to see them, or if the bus drives past a sign that says "We are proud of our Sailors".
Do you guys or the sailors really care at all about this stuff? Is it a waste of time and energy, or worthwhile?
