Serving The Best Troops In The World

Hi! I'm The Sailor and MoJo's youngest son. My nickname at home is *Tibby*. You've probably seen my older brother, hotstreak, before. I'm 6 years old and currently in First Grade.
See the big guy pictured above? Do you know him who he is? If you like the NBA, you'll know it's Shaquille O'Neal.
He, hotstreak, and myself are part of a special community. We're proudly known as *military brats*. His father was in the Army while our Dad is in the Navy. Military brat is an informal term for a child who has one or more parents who serves or served full-time in the military. It implies that such an upbringing is different in important ways from that experienced by those in the community at large, and can be an insult or a compliment, depending on the context. Although brat is usually taken to mean a spoiled child, military brats are usually considered more disciplined than their stateside peers.
Click here for a neat story about him and one of our heroes. Other famous *Military Brats* Johnny Damon Kathy Lee Gifford Mia Hamm Crystal Kay Kris Kristofferson Martin Lawrence Shawn Michaels Jim Morrison Nelly Priscilla Presley Jeri Ryan Blair Underwood Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. Lionel Richie Victoria Principal Mary-Louise Parker Mitch Pleggi Hunter "Patch" Adams Christina Aguilara Jessica Alba Leslie M. Alexander Michael J.

Cook Deedee Corrandini Vivian Crea Robert Davenport Diane Mott Davidson Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. John Denver Faye Dunaway Ann Dunwoody Robert Duval Michael J. Fox *Some of these folks were schooled overseas with military brats or themselves military brats. *More info here. Are you a military brat? Where have you lived? Did you go to school overseas? Do you still keep in touch with those friends? Thank you to all of our Troops, Veterans, and family members. Thank you to our fellow military brats! We're everywhere!! |

It's going pretty well. We missed one critical update from Windows Update but found an alternatived spot to get a download at microsoft.com.
Microsoft really fouled up this one. I went to their message boards and there are some very unhappy campers this morning.
I did manage to get all the other updates though and that's a good deal.

What do these updates provide beside Virus updates??
I'm not sure I need a lot of stuff offered in those updates, mine does an auto update anyway.

Well, Windows Update provides these things to protect the computer against bad stuff. The anti-virus software also does that too..
Sometimes these things work and sometimes they don't. This was just one of those deals.
It happens from timt to time.

Hey Tibby and Hostreak...my oldest daughter was technically my first "military brat"...she was born at an Army hospital in Georgia.
Her sisters and brother all consider themselves "military brats now" cause I'm back in the Army.
Their mom is an ex-military brat too. She lived in Hawaii and at Ft. Hood, Texas while her dad was in the Army.
