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!

I'm in Kuwait. Been playing in the dirt, having a blast. (I left for a day, so that's why I'm late replying, sorry about that

I just found this ping in the middle of a whole bunch of pings. Sorry I almost missed it.

I am glad you made it safely.

First, what is it about boys (pun intended) and dirt? It's almost a magnetic attraction of some sort!

Second, you should have FReepmail right about now.

Finally, keep your eyes open. And, come back safely. You don't want Ma & I to have to come over there if we hear you're hurt or something! LOL
