Sometimes a recommendation or vital information will be given at on of these establishments. Remember, you did ask what you needed to know to become a good official.

Thanks. I do understand this as it has been explained to me.
All I'm saying is that I'm not much of the going out and drinkin with the buds kind of guy. If that means I won't move up the ranks as fast, I'm either going to have to rectify that by going out now and then or being content with where I'm at. That's just a decision I'll have to make personally. I'm not trying to FIGHT what you're saying at all, and I trust your judgement, I'm just saying it might not be for me.
