Well, it may involve some sort of "skivvy waver", but no, it's not that kind of party, but one where the key player "... should be preferably bad tempered, and certainly dictatorial by nature."

As examined here.
UPDATE: Fixed the "skivvy waver" link. Oops.
That is a paraphrase from one of the enlightened staff guys at, ahem, The Columbia Journalism Review. Paul McLeary advertises how much he researches his subjects. Speaking of the Milblog reaction to the "Scott Thomas" affair;
How dare a college grad and engaged citizen volunteer to join the Army to fight for his country! (Which is something that most of the brave souls who inhabit the milblog community prefers to leave to others.)Should we send our C.V. to his @cjr.org email address or sump'n?... Naw, you know the phrase. If you wrestle with pigs.....
As for the other comments McLeary makes in his bit, perhaps he should have tried to exchange a few emails with 1SG Hatley.
