The students were so impressed by the ceremony that a few of them held up their hands as Saenz raised his right hand to repeat his oath. “It was for my daughter,” the soldier explained..... |
“It was great,” said a beaming Adriana.

I once re-enlisted in a small kitchette. Only had room for me, a Lt, and my NCOIC.

Only in Texas would this be allowed to happen in a public school but wait til the Austin lefties hear about it.
Thanks to this special man for his service and for caring so much about his daughter.

I think this is outstanding. One of the greatest things I was able to do as a Naval 'zero' was reenlist my sailors. We always let them pick where it would be - a lot of foc'sle, gunmounts, etc. Had one technician that we strapped up and climbed the mast for. But by far the best was a Boatswain's mate 1st class Petty Officer who convinced the CO to allow us to do the reenlist in a boatswain's chair during an underway replenishment. For those of you who don't know during an 'unrep' we send hi-lines across between ships and then take a tension in order to refuel and send cargo from one ship to the other. Ships are usually about 100-140 ft apart. The chair is used to send people across, but these days that is more likely to happen via a helo. I was facing forward on this day and my PO was facing aft - I think so I would take the sea spray. The team got us out half way and then I told him to raise his hand. By that time he was ready to get across and said so. I replied - I think to my credit, "Not till you finish this damn oath, now repeat after me!" Hell of a memory - that would have been in '94 I think. If I can find a pic I'll see if I can get it posted.
