After I got out of high school, I enlisted in the US Air force and served four years of active duty, and I after completing basic training and tech school, I was stationed at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. I had only been on post for a few months, when Halloween came around. My roommate wanted to go to a costume party somewhere, but we had not figured out where to go. After checking out the parties, we decided to take a trip to New York and go to a costume party at the Waldorf Astoria. The ride took us about two hours, before we got into the city. We had no idea where we were going, so we started asking people for help. We found a helpful person in the name of Monica. It seems, she was going to the party, and was hitching a ride. We found a place to park, and headed to the Waldorf. We never shopped for a real costume. We just purchased two mop heads, and some white paint, and went as zombies. Monica stayed with us for a good part of the night, and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. It was a great time, and hard to believe a New Yorker could be so nice.
