Tell us how much you loved your DI!

It is our pleasure and honor to be here for our Troops, past, present and future...
and especially during this Week, the 4th of July we remember that we owe our freedom to you.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice, and God bless you.

         

A gentle reminder from Ms.B:  
Please, no politics in The Canteen. 
The Troops need a place to rest, relax and relate, and that place is The Canteen.
Have fun and play nice!

Doing fine. We're going about our business. We tend to keep short lists of important matters so everything that needs to be said has already been said. JT will leave within the hour and then the youngest and I will head out to the stables as usual.

Good morning and THANK YOU for your service. And, thank you for your kind words of support for our heroes.

an enlisted man cannot be a butter bar.
LOL! I've not run into to many that would want to be one!
Back when I was in most of these guys were a nightmare to be around. I worked out in the bomb dump. The officer in charge of the Bomb dump usually considered it a job that he got "stuck" with - especially stateside, so it was invariable the low man on the totem pole.
The 2nd LT's that we got stuck with barely knew which end of the missile the fire came out, but thought themselves to be a reincarnated Patton or something. We really had a good time with them!

Cordially,
GE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Poser]

US Navy... IC3 (Interior Communications Electrician)
Great Lakes to San Diego to Charleston to New London to Pearl
1970 to 1973

I joined the Navy because my draft number was 68 and it gave me some control over my military job. I would have spent several years in submarines, but my career was cut short by an injury to my right leg.

I was a bad match for the military anyway. I still don't take instruction very well.

[beachn4fun]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Fortunately, I went through basic in late summer at GLAKES, otherwise that Mississippi boy would have froze his scuttlebutt off.

Speaking of scuttlebutt of these days we need set up a thread on Navyspeak.
