What!!!!!!!!!!!

You squids got to do boot in a luxury hotel or something?!?!?!

I had to wear my clothes in the shower and scrub them on, flipping them inside out and around..............then rinse. We had a washer and dryer, the Drill Sgt. would not let us use them.

That sucked for 16 weeks brother.

Yeah, good times. I always washed my civvies myself but we got our
uniforms washed for us, but in boot some sap had to gather 'em all..

I think they did it just to get out of PT...

Hell, as bad as we gunked ours up in the engine rooms when I got to the
fleet, it's a good thing we DIDN'T there either.

Oh BTW...SNIPES RULED. hahahaha

I think i will plug my eyes for that, i am atheist!!!

Graduation is Sept 12th, they are having a family day the 11th. We have to stay on base, but there are a few things to do. We are stopping in Bowling green to meet someone on the way in on the 10th. And yes it is at Ft Knox.

The great thing about this nation is that you can just ignore the prayer. OR, if you are of another faith that prays to another diety, pray your own prayer.

I am SO glad I don't have to practice as you do and you don't have to practice as I.

Be sure to let us know how graduation goes and brag more on you kid (whom we are ALL proud of here!), kay?

All that is true, but we still need to keep a low profile. You know to avoid slashed tires, & stonings etc. People are still really mean & try to change you if you admit to being atheist. So it is hard, even in this country.

And i will let you all know how it goes! Cant wait to see him to!

So what MOS is he going into???

I was "11 Bravo", which is Infantry. Or does he know yet?

Oh what a great way to convert the atheists! Treat them to slashed tires and beatings. *rolls eyes* Yeah, that's really showing the love of G-d to 'em -- NOT!!!!

Sorry, Lisa.
