Just got a call from a aircraft carrier - GoFuckYourself.com

Vendzilla · 10-07-2008, 10:05 AM

My daughter is on west pac on the USS Ronald Reagon(CVN 76), she can call from time to time using a pay phone system on board for about $20 for 40 minutes I think. She'll be here for thanksgiving. She just earned her Surface Warfare Pin, plus several other ribbons and a couple medals for humanitarian efforts. She's been to several countries and is getting a pretty good education, she'll be going to college when she gets out, probably here locally since we have some good colleges here. Never thought I would be a parent of a sailor, being a single dad of a girl, but she's never gone with the normal path. I do have to say, I'm very proud of her!

sweet!!!

CIVMatt · 10-07-2008, 10:11 AM

Good stuff Vendzilla I'd be proud too

StuartD · 10-07-2008, 10:14 AM

Very cool man! That truly is a great achievement to be proud of, for both you and her.
You obviously did a wonderful job

I can't conceive of qualifying for ESWS on a carrier.

On the ARS, we had to learn every detail of every system AND every watch station.

On a carrier, that would take decades

Congrats to her - that's a hell of an accomplishment!

yeah - sub quals would be a bitch.

When were you in? I was at SUBASE Pearl Harbor from '81 - '83, roughly, Hull Division QA (64-B, I think - my memory is fuzzy)

mrwilson · 10-07-2008, 10:52 AM

yes, shes a shellback, so am I

Eriic · 10-07-2008, 11:25 AM

She made a great choice. I got out after 4 years, I regret it.....Retired before 40 and I am unemployed and 46.

Something to think about.

_Richard_ · 10-07-2008, 11:50 AM

glad to hear she's going to be home for turkey.. how long till she's in college?

DaddyHalbucks · 10-07-2008, 12:07 PM

Cool.

All Americans should support our great troops.

Almost Evil · 10-07-2008, 12:09 PM

That's awesome! Im sure youre a proud dad- and you should be

Rochard · 10-07-2008, 12:59 PM

Why have her go to college when she gets out? Why not encourage her to stay in and go to college? Fuck it, if the US Navy is willing to pay for it then go for it!

And with the way things are right now.... Staying in is a great idea - She doesn't have to worry about a job, that's for sure!

Vendzilla · 10-07-2008, 02:03 PM

She wants to get into Holistic Medicine They don't teach that in the military, she's always be interested in Herb's

Dude she could retire before forty and never have to worry about money. There is nothing wrong with going to college after she finishes her career, she can learn it and start a new career and that's great cause she will be financially secure and free to do whatever she wants. I wish I had stayed in and made that choice.

she wants to do things her way, she has been raised to think for herself and not take shit from anyone, so whatever she decides to do with her life, I'll support, I just want her to be happy

Big_D · 10-07-2008, 02:31 PM

HOOYAH SHIPMATE!

In all honesty man, if it was possible at the time of her enlistment, im sure she would have went subs, seems to me like she is 100% proud of her pops and wants to follow in his footsteps (-:
