Think Weasley wedding on steroids. Then times it by ten.
A Sig what now?
Listening again this morning during a lull in the workday. When I got to the end of the episode with Michael's voice over something struck me.... He's writing in the way past tense. This journal entry is being written after the events that occur 4 months after the events of 38-3... In a lot of cases, we are reading/hearing read journal entries that were written close in time to the events covered. In some cases that's obviously not true (Kalani catching up the events leading up to him being at the Tower was obviously not written until after he got to the Tower and Burt obviously wasn't writing in a journal while in Scratch's fun dungeon).
"How optimistic we were. And foolish... It would be 4 months before we would find something..."
Does this mean that Michael didn't journal during that time (unlikely) or that nothing worth transferring to the "master record" occurred (maybe implied)? Anyway, this almost comes of as something other than a regular journal entry to me. Almost like Michael might be responding to someone else asking him a question. I assumed at first that the scritch-scritch of pencil on paper was Michael writing. But it could just as easily be someone else recording what he is saying during questioning....
Maybe it does play out like Merlin1274 thinks it will.
Either way, it also points to Michael surviving long enough after the upcoming events to either write it down or be questioned.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Woah...very interesting.
Just to kinda play devil's advocate here though there's a few things that might not point to this. One is why would they have him read the entries aloud? I mean can't they read it themselves? I'm no expert in court matters, though. Especially not a military court, so maybe that is the way they would do it. It seems to me, however, that if they were questioning him they would have the entries in front of them and have Michael answer questions from memory to see if the stories varied at all, or just to verify the events. Also, at this point I don't see much relevance in what Michael is saying to whether he should be dishonorably discharged or whatever the punishment would be.
The other thing, and this one is iffy because it could be attributed to several different things, but Michael's tone seems a little too story teller mode to be on trial or giving answers while being questioned.
I do think there is something to this though, because Michael is speaking in very past tense. I just can't think of what that could mean.

He says back in 1.1 that he's writing all this Down in the hope that it'll make more sense to him... Not really for anyone to read, but for his own sanity.
About Randy... He says "The day that Randy and I would see each other Again". In my head this Means that they're actually going to meet each other.At least Michael isn't just spotting Randy from a distance... Randy sees him as well.
Looking forward to hear what's happening in these four months... But I'm looking even more forward to hear what happens afterwards.
