Lights....Camera.....ACTION

Instead of a traditional Den meeting, tonight the boys took a trip to LCTV-10 (local Camp Lejeune news station) to get a behind the scenes tour. After a brief tour of the station from Cpl. Hall, the station director, and a quick lesson on how everything works, they were let loose to operate the very, very expensive equipment by themselves. Did I mention these are all 3rd grade boys??? Aye caramba!! I was sure that complete chaos would ensue, but alas, the boys were on their best behavior and were very respectful and careful with the equipment. They were able to operate all the cameras, control the teleprompter and act as anchormen. On the way home, I asked Mason if he would like to be on TV when he grows up. He said he would be way too nervous to be on screen, but really enjoyed operating the camera.

You stay classy, Camp Lejeune.
