Dining in

Dining in is a formal military ceremony for members of a company or other unit, which includes a dinner, drinking, and other events to foster camaraderie and esprit de corps.

The United States Army, the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, and the United States Air Force refer to this event as a dining in or dining-in. The United States Marine Corps refers to it as mess night. Other names include regimental dinner, guest night, formal mess dinner, and band night.

The dining in is a formal event for all unit members, male and female; though some specialized mess nights can be officer- or enlisted-only. The unit chaplain is usually also invited, if an invocation is needed. A unit's dining-in consists of only the members of the unit, with the possible exception of the guest(s) of honor. An optional formal dinner, known as the dining-out may include spouses and other guests. The dining-out follows the same basic rules of the dining-in, but is often tailored to minimize some of the military traditions and be more interesting to civilian guests.

Tuning In

by: Newsboys

[Incomprehensible]
You may be in London
Waiting on a train
You may be in Paris
Dancin' on a stage
Or shootin' the curl in Bali
Or down south drinkin' sweet tea
You may be glued to the television
As happy as Larry
You may be a doctor
Givin' up the ghost
You may be a short order cook
Fixing grits and toast
Whenever, wherever
Whoever you are
Let it be plain too see
It's time to reach for
Somethin' higher
Everybody hears the need
Tuning in around the world
All you boys and all you girls
Tune in till you drown the noise
All you girls and all you boys
Tune it in and hum along
Let it lift the woe begone
Tune it in around the world
All you boys and all you girls
Well I say, it may be your birthday
Or it may be your last
As a kid you couldn't wait to get old
Now the years fly by too fast
Whenever, wherever
Whoever you are
Let it be plain too see
No time, no place
Nobody but you
Will keep you from your knees
I say, tuning in around the world
All you boys and all you girls
Tune in till you drown the noise
All you girls and all you boys
Tune it in and hum along
Let it lift the woe begone
Tune it in around the world
All you boys and all you girls
Let the truth fill up our lives
Let the choir fire up and over
The renewal of our minds is
Never over till it's over
And where our treasure is
That's where our hearts will be
So take my will and set me
Tuning into you, tuning outta me
Tuning in around the world
All you boys and all you girls
Tune in till you drown the noise
All you girls and all you boys
Tune it in and hum along
Let it lift the woe begone
Tune it in around the world
All you boys and all you girls

Tuning in around the world
