Why did you choose that particular branch?

|
Where did you go to Basic Training or Boot Camp?
What is the name of your unit? (Division?)
What is their (your) mascot?
Tell us how much you loved your DI!
How long were you at Boot Camp/Basic Training, before you questioned the parentage of the senior Drill Sergeant?How long were you in service before you realized that the instructors were right in all that they taught you? |
 Your first landing on an aircraft carrier Your first parachute jump The heaviest vehicle you got to drive The largest weapon you got to use Did you serve before email? Did you have a personal nickname? |
|
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!

Don't they give you guys oxygen tanks down there?
LOL! At times I do wonder "what in the world am I doing down here!".
I guess the older I get, the more I dislike the weather.
Saturday it was 102 degrees according to the thermometer on my garage. I spent the day working outside. It just wears me out now - maybe it is my age showing a bit.
It is only this hot a couple of months out of the year.
Cordially,
GE

Why did you choose that particular branch?
There have been members of my family in the Army since the inception of the republic.
Where did you go to Basic Training?
Ft. Benning, GA
Your first parachute jump...
I was scared as hell at first but then loved every second of it. On the next jump I was anxious for the green light. I made several hundred jumps over the years and still miss it.
The largest weapon you got to use
Mk19 grenade launcher
Did you serve before email?
Yes
To: stand watie
I saw some news clips on the storm that arrived in DC while the celebration was on. Good thing you stayed home!

Good Morning Troops,Veterans and Canteeners.
Our Troops fight for our freedom and keep us safe.
We should thank our Troops every day and show our support for what they do,because they sacrifice everything for us.
Always remember that.......
It is the SOLDIER, not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the SOLDIER, not the courts
who has given us the right to keep and bear arms
It is the SOLDIER, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the SOLDIER, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the SOLDIER, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the SOLDIER, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the SOLDIER, not the politician,
who has given us the right to vote.
It is the SOLDIER, who salutes the Flag,
and serves under the flag.
So join me in saying........
WE....
....YOU!!!!!
God bless our Troops and their families!
God bless the USA,the land that I love!
