Well, I put FWGuyJr on a plane today for Ft. Lewis for his Army ROTC training for the summer. Another officer in the making, although he is not as enthusiastic as I was 30 years ago embarking on the same adventure.
 
wasn't General Patton still in charge when you started?

2/75 is out there unless they're in the sand box now. Haven't been to Lewis in about 7 years. I like it there -- you can see Mt Ranier from anyplace. What branch? None of my kids was the slight bit interested in the military. Are you gonna wear your uniform when he get commissioned?

I'm sure this was one of the more bitter/sweet days of your life, and especially for FtWGal. Keep the kleenex handy.:worried:

I think I will need a diet to fit into my uniform.

I was never at Lewis, but have heard good things about it.

I am not sure what branch he is interested in, he is a computer jock. I think he is leaning towards ADA or Signal.

I was surprised when he applied for the scholarship, since I didn't think he had the slightest interest in the Army. Even more surprising, he is going to my Alma Mater and stayed in the same dorm I did freshman year. Freaky.
 
That reminds me of when one of my brothers graduated from Air Force OTC and my oldest brother (enlisted Navy) showed up in uniform. Oldest is wearing all white, looks like an ice cream vendor and all the newbie Air Force guys kept saluting him. He did give my other brother his first salute as an officer though. It was really cool.

My nephew spent 2 years in the Air Force, quit and is now in Army training. Haven't figured that one out yet, his Dad is my Navy brother. I guess he'll try the Marines next!

I had a physics professor at Auburn that my dad had. The woman had a memory like a steel trap. I did grow tired of her reminding me that I was not like my father and actually paid attention in class, to which I replied, "That is because he is paying for me to be here and the govt. was paying for his! (ROTC)
 
In Heaven there is no beer
(No beer?!)
That's why we drink it here
And when we're all gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer.

Should I be concerned, or impressed, that my 6 year old knows this song and sings it regularly :confused3
 
I just finished work and moved outdoors to the gazebo -- starting on a Moosehead. It's 77 here, a little cloudy and no humidity. Life is good -- wifi signal strength is very good here but I'm only about 20' from the house. I've got an extended range router on order that should let me g a lot further. Anyone ever hear of woot.com? I get a lot of stuff there - mostly refurbished, but not a problem yet! :cool1:



:rotfl:
 
We had some bad storms go through last night and took out a big limb on one of my maple trees - my garden is history now and we had a 10' umbrella which is under the mess somewhere. Tonight I get to start to cut things apart if I can get FWGirl to help - I still have this broken arm issue to deal with.

Ouch :-(
 
Yeah we had some bad storms go through too. No damage though. There's a lot of bad weather going around now. Those poor people in WI. Tom Petty just came on the radio -- I love him. Oh, I forgot it's a CD I made. Go figure. I like all the songs! Beer is good!


BTW how's the wrist coming. I had two broken wrists at the same time once. Made a visit to the men's room an interesting experience!
 
When my daughter was 3, she knew the words to Rock N Roll all Nite, and Enter Sandman.
 
Here is a new song:

You won't hear me, But you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen.
Then within your senses,
You'll know you're defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run for cover
Your cant retreat I spy like no other.
 
HELP!!!

I need a giant recap of what happened around here since saturday! We went camping, I get back, there are about 2000 new pages on all these threads, we have been moved, there is a community board, Pete likes manly firemen..... WOW! HELP
