Army?
|
Navy?

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!

Would your dad, by chance, be the Admiral who chopped the water line into Gitmo when The Evil One cut off the water supply to the base?

Hi Jemian.
Just got back from work and checking my pings before heading off to bed.
I am glad to hear that I and all of us were able to make the good byes a little easier for you.
Tell Jemians Terror that we thank him for his service.
We'll be praying for him and your family during his deployment.

"I was scared as hell at first but then loved every minute of it."
My son who went to jump school at Bragg in the late '80s reported something similar. As he was standing on line for his first jump, the Sargeant said "are you afraid?" "No," a few moments later, "are you afraid?" "No." At the door "are you afraid?" "No." Then out the door to STARK TERROR in 2 seconds. I don't know how many jumps he has made, but he continued in the Reserves with Jump status after he mustered out. Then he went back in and is now in Afghanistan, probably not jumping though.

"Would your dad, by chance, be the Admiral who chopped the water line into Gitmo when The Evil One cut off the water supply to the base? The Admiral would have been the Commandant. My dad was a Captain. Wonder if it was Rear Admiral Buckley, you were thinking about. He was Commandant there about that time. His claim to fame was escorting MacArthur out of the Phillipines.
