What a neat neat thread!! Glad to be aboard!
My son enlisted in the army a week ago. He leaves for Ft. Leonard-Wood in January for basic training. He is excited . I couldn't be prouder but worry about the horror stories of basic training!! He'll probably do better than me during that 9 weeks!!
Thanks to all the troops for your duty to your country! What a wonderful country--because of you!

I did my 9 weeks at Ft. Lost-in-the-Woods back in '76, Feb-April.

He'll do just fine as long as he does what he's told to do when he's told to do it!

Welcome to the Canteen, jackv, where we honor our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies every day. We are here 24(mostly)/7/365 to provide a place for our military to stop in, pull up a chair, enjoy a joke, hear a song (requests taken), read some history, enjoy a cyber meal (no calories), hear about our families lives, join in the silliness, and just relax. And thanks to your son for choosing to serve our America.
