~ SPORTS DAY IN THE CANTEEN ~     The Canteen Doors Are Open! Yep! Another fun filled Sports Day for all of our Troops, Veterans, and their families. (Oh yeah! For Canteeners and lurkers as well.) Anyhoo, the Canteen Sports CEO (That would be Mr.Tonkin for those that would like to file a complaint!) would like for us to keep things simple for Sports this week. So? Being that we have no power over such things, we are going to take him at his word. After all, he's the CEO and he always knows everything. Right?  The right hand side provides all the sports information you will need! So? Have at it kids! Have fun!! (In all honesty, we don't want to bog down the thread opening anymore. We'll keep it short and simple. Anything else we'd like to add will be posted on the thread itself!)   CANTEEN SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS 1. The Cincinnati Reds, not the Chicago Cubs, are currently in First Place in the National League - Central Division. Please make note of that. Be sure to pester Cubbie lover, tomkow6, about it. He'll appreciate it. 2. No! This isn't Da Bears season yet. So? The CSC CEO won't care what we write about in the Canteen. (Don't tell him Da Bears will be bad again this year. Hehe!) 3. The French Open is currently going on. Anyone care? We didn't think so. Besides, all the American men are gone. Wimbledon is next for us. WooHoo! 4. Anyone see the Indy 500?? Isn't it nice that we all know how to say Buddy Rice? It sure is. Nice to see an American win it again. 5. *YAWN* The Yankees are in first place again. Different year, same story. Poor BoSox fans. 6. If you want to end your football career with controversy, sign up to be the head coach at Colorado. McCartney, Neuheisel, and Barnett. What a grand school. (Although, Barnett wasn't fired.) 7. Just an observation: The British papers and people love two things more than anything else. They love soccer and sex. Kind of convenient since they both start with "s". They are obsessed with David Beckham and who he's with or isn't. Looks like his wife Victoria is becoming the Hillary Clinton of Great Britian. Sucks to be either one of them. 8. We know what you're thinking: WHY ISN'T IT FRIDAY ALREADY? We hear ya there!	SPORTS LINKS mouse over to see the link!

Hey flipyaforreal..........

[Lady Jag]

What a great recruitment ad!

Good thought!   I was born after WWII but my dad was in it in the Navy and he told me jokes I wish I remembered about the "good life" in the Navy.   So I was going to say it's probably an old joke.   But, yeah, it would appeal to both types of people, the Aquarius on one hand and the challenge person on the other!

Congrats!!! but no "short-timer" attitude. There is still stuff out there that bites. We want you home on time and intact.

[beachn4fun]

YES! Armyboy is coming home! Looks like another cyber party is coming!

[beachn4fun]

I just figured that when those young men saw the choice of lying in the desert/hot sun OR swimming pool, etc., the choice would be easy!

[Flipyaforreal]

ROFL! Thank you beachn4fun :)Adorable pic!

[armyboy]

That would be bad 2LT's. Shoot, that would be any officer that thinks he/she can do it all without consulting their NCO's!

Well, cutie, look at your name! Your choice was obvious to me! I'd choose the pool and the cruise, too. But then I looked at it again and remembered a few good young men who chose the Marines...I meandered, but was able to see how the ad would work to recruit both services in a way.

You know, some people just can't leave the heavy stuff alone
