被邀参加一个在役朋友的换岗仪式。在一个基地的大礼堂,奏乐唱国歌,牧师祈祷,上司,被换下来的,新换上去的轮流讲话,还给家属赠花发奖,交接旗,最后大家一起唱陆军军歌。非常有仪式感。
陆军军歌很朗朗上口,有点像儿歌的感觉

March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free.
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory.
We’re the Army and proud of our name!
We’re the Army and proudly proclaim:
First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And the Army goes rolling along.
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Army goes rolling along.
Then it’s hi! hi! hey!
The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong;
For where’er we go,
You will always know
That the Army goes rolling along.
