Do any of ya'll have any New Years Eve parties or events that stand out in your memory?
I have two. When I was deployed to a Nationalist Chinese Air Force base on Taiwan, the officers and Staff NCO's of our unit were invited to a New Years Eve party at the Nationalist Chinese Air Force Officer's Club in Ping Tung. The Chinese celebrate New Years with fireworks, and during the course of the party there were so many fireworks going off inside the club they had to stop the dance several times to sweep the debris from the fireworks off the dance floor.
At one point, I left the club to load up on more fireworks, and from a block down the street it sounded like a full scale firefight was going on in the club.
Then, another New Years Eve party at the Fleet Reserve Club in Millington, TN finally broke up for good at 4pm the next day. People went home, slept it off, came back and started partying all over again. Now that was a party!
