OT - Navy Recruit Graduation!

Post by Ram Hammer »

It was a great day for my wife and I. We attended my stepsons (her boy's) graduation from Navy Boot Camp at the Great Lakes Recruit Training Center today. I was very impressed by the way the Navy conducted the program (pics to follow when I get back home). She is one proud mama tonight and he is in high spirits as well. We will spend the rest of the weekend with him and then head back south. He will be attending MOS school in Mississippi.

WOW, the change they made in that boy!! That's more difference than I have been able to make in 8 years :roll: :lol: :shock:

Thanks for lettin me brag :oops:

Congrats to your family. I sure know the difference of which you speak. I saw it in my own son, and my dad sure let me know what a difference it made in me. (I didn't see it that way, but you know Dads!) :P :lol:

Congratulations to the boy and to you! Navy boot camp in San Diego way back when sure made a change in me, too. A change that I both needed and wanted.
So anyway, what's he going to do in the Navy?
Have you hugged your rifle today?

I guess somebody's gotta watch the boat...

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Yep, Dad was real impressed by the "softening up" they did on a little stretch of the Normadie coast. Then again, he was from a Navy family. First one to jump ship. Gotta love the guys who make things even a little bit easier. Heck, those big guns did a pretty good job on hard target up until they moved to far inland to be in range.

WOW!!! That's just great.

I'm an old retired Chief Petty Office that did 24-years in the U. S. Navy.

The best advice I can give any young man or woman going into the servie is:

"Do what you're told to do whey you're told to do it"!!!!!

Pass that along to your boy and he'll have a positive experience while in the Navy.

Give him my regards.
