WAY TO GO Online family!!
Posted on 05/18/2004 9:19:19 AM PDT by RightOnline
It is with great pride that I, RightOnline, and The Lovely Wife (aka "RightOnlinesWife") announce the commissioning of our eldest son (oldest of our seven children), known to fellow FReepers as "Future Snake Eater", as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.
F.S.E. was commissioned on Friday afternoon, then received his B.A. degree the following day from NC State University. Combined with his recent marriage to his lovely new bride at the end of February, this has been quite the past few months for the RightOnline household and Future Snake Eater.
He will soon leave for Infantry Officer Training School, then Airborne, then Ranger school......then off to Ft. Lewis, WA, where he will lead a Stryker platoon.
Please join us in congratulating a fine young man who is going to make one hell of an Army officer.
God speed, Chris.
Too cool! Congratulations!!!

That is totally awesome! Congratulations to all of you! Thanks for sharing your joy with us. :-)
Congratulations to all of you. What a wonderful story.
WAY TO GO Online family!!
See what happens when good & honorable genes get together!
Oh how I remember a similar day and the pride of his dad when he got to swear him in.........we were all sooo proud! His sister got to pin on his silver bar (do I remember that right for a 2nd. Lt.?)
Congratulations.
Having had the honor to meet you, I wish you the best and thank you for your service to our great country!
All the best,
CD
PS - I didn't know you got married!
That's probably the ONLY part of your uniform that would still fit you.....LOL......me, my daughters cannabalized mine years ago..congrats to you and your son...
Absolutely! He looks so handsome in that uniform! I remember sewing camouflage "fatigues" for him when he was a young un' and now he has the real ones! We are all very, very proud of this young man and his lovely bride.
Congratulations.
Feel free to be proud.
Congratulations, and my heartfelt thanks to your whole family for their service to our country. May God bless.
Good job! Can you post some pictures of the event?
Congratulations and my deepest gratitude for your family's service.
God bless him and keep him safe!
Congratulations to your entire family, and your son in particular.
Gladly would if I had a server I could post them to.
Ya know . . . when people get to be my age they start thinking about what kind of legacy they're gonna leave. You, sir, have nothing to worry about. Your greatest legacy is already bearing fruit. I salute you, the missus, and Lieutenant RightOnline. His parents musta raised him right.
Hooah.
If you ain't in the Infantry, you're just in support. :)
And since infantrymen tend to be pretty athletic... it makes you an athletic supporter. </bad joke>
