Their sister is one of those University Liberals (knows everything, been nowhere but school). <BR/><BR/>I'll relate one funny story. SN2 told us about how is Platoon in Boot had to march in full pack mind you, 5-miles to the rifle range. He took boot at Paris Island during the summer months, you know the comfortable time to be in a swamp. Now, for those that don't know it, Paris Island is not that big for a 5-mile march, so they do laps around the place until they get the requisite milage. He shoots his 500 rounds and they pack up and do the laps back, again 5-miles round and round the Mean Green Machine went. <BR/><BR/>SN1 did his boot in San Antino, Texas (as you know, the only place the USAF does boot) and he relates his trip to the rifle range. <BR/><BR/>"We rode there in an Air Conditioned Bus" <BR/><BR/>Nuff Said!!!<BR/><BR/>Jimmy TJimmyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595473108896212170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-77573313147248703182008-04-30T12:01:00.000-06:002008-04-30T12:01:00.000-06:00Lou sez: I love the video and the quote.

SN2 is a squid... a black mark on what would otherwise be three generations of SKY-blue service. Makes for "interesting" conversations whenever SN1, SN2, and I get together, tho. One would assume the same is true at your place.<BR/><BR/>(See, Jenny?

Oh, wait you can't get above Captain in the USAF without a handicap greater than 10 so, scratch that. He must have a son or daughter in the Marines and is deflecting attention to the Navy for losing his progeny to the competition. Cause, that’s what I do when asked about my SN1 (who joined the USAF many years ago)!!! And yeah, I am an exSquid!! And by the way, my other Son is in the Marines, so I can play the game both ways!!! LOL <BR/>I stop in here because I visit several NM sites, missing the homeland of my birth.
