FReeper Canteen ~ Tell Us About Your Military Service ~ July 6, 2006
Ms. Behavin & Old Sarge | 06 JULY 2006 | Ms. Behavin & Old Sarge

Posted on 07/05/2006 7:04:50 PM PDT by Old Sarge



Army?

Navy?

Air Force?

Marines?

Coast Guard?


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!

Thank you for honoring our gallant military. You and all of you on the Canteen have helped make this day, our day of saying good-bye, go a little more smoothly and have helped ease this transition. Whn we say good-bye to a loved one, at ANY time, it is possible we'll never see them again on this side of Glory. So, we've kept short lists of "need-to-say"s types of things. But there is always some special poignancy when a loved when is putting a lot of real estate between you. Thank you all for your help today.

LOL! I work for a company that manufactures and repairs/maintains turbines and generators for the power generation industry. I am actually an MIS guy by training, but am employed as a manufacturing/industrial engineer.
