Mess Night
12/06/08 12:35
Attention Young Marines and Families:
Our next drill which is Saturday December 13 will be held from 1000-1400 at 4th CEB. That evening from 1800-2100 (6pm-9pm) will be celebrating Warriors Night a Marine Corp tradition. All Young Marines and their families and guests are invited.
Traditionally called Mess Night, it's purpose is to recognize and pay homage to the Marines who came before us.
The mess night is fashioned to fit a formal gathering with a military flavor present. A Marine is assigned to be president of the mess; he/she is in charge and controls the flow of events.
The vice-president of the mess, or 'Mr. Vice,' as the title has come to be known, acts as the enforcer of the president's decisions and also regulates who may speak to the president.
Invited guests are also part of the group. Conventionally, their place is at the head table with the president. The remainder of the participants make up the mess. They are the heart of the event, and are expected to pay fines as the president sees fit for issues brought up by the mess men.
During the formal meal portion of the mess night, members of the mess have the opportunity to charge another mess man with a fine if he has a legitimate reason to.
A mess member must stand at attention and ask Mr. Vice's permission to address the mess. Mr. Vice has the option to turn the request away or to forward it to the president. If the president grants permission, the mess member must state his case on why his comrade must be fined.
If the mess member makes a good case, the president fines the guilty party a certain amount that he sees fit, or forces the defendant to perform a show for the mess.
This has become an annual tradition for Hamilton Young Marines in lieu of a Holiday Party.
The cost for the meal is $10 per person. I will need to know before Saturday who will be attending and payment is due at drill.
This is an exceptionally fun time and I hope that all of you can attend.
Pictures from Last Years Mess night are available on the site.
