My daughter graduated from boot camp today!

[Vendzilla]

I sat and watched in Great lakes as my daughter of 18 years graduated from Naval boot camp. We had a nice day afterwards and on wednsday, she's off to school in florida. She got 2 ribbons, one for marksman for the pistol, I laughed when I talked to her chief, a 9mm is smaller than any other pistol she's fired! Probably won't see her in a while, but I raised her so I know she'll be ok!

[Rankings]

Nice, congrats to her

[Z]

to her!

[Big_Red]

great job! now off to fight useless wars.

[Mr. Jim]

I wish you both a very heartfelt and sincere congratulations to you and your daughter. To have the courage and honor to serve our country during such a violent chapter for our service members shows character.

You should be proud and tell others how proud you are... When you speak to her next let her know there are millions and millions of us out here that say "thank you" for your sacrifice in serving and may the wind always be on her back and the sun upon her face...

We should be so lucky to have her and those like her.

Groupe hug!!!!!

[baddog]

Nothing better than a daughter that can handle a firearm. Congrats to both of you.

[needlive]

Congratulations to her first. Not to forget you, who raised her. A fantastic moment, the graduation is. Seeing your child grow up...

[Mr. Jim]

I think it is sad to make sarcastic comments about a young person who wants to serve the country. Regardless of the current administration and the cluster fuck they have put our nation in the middle of...

We should still be proud and commend our service members.

[sicone]

Damn.. seems like just a week ago you were sending her on her way.

Congrats to her.

[J.R.]

Good to hear, Wish her the best!

[starpimps]

congrats to her =)

[nAtuRaLbEautY]

congrats, man! i'm pretty sure you're so proud of her!

[Axzar]

Been there, done that.

Now she is off to A School to learn her trade. Then off to War (Eat Snacky Smores!)

Navy was a good choice, she should get to travel quite a bit. In four years I went to Europe, the Carribean, and a few places in Canada.

Good times.

[nico-t]

must be a bliss if your top boss is president Bush.
I'd rather kill myself then getting killed for his and his buddies' pockets, thank you very much.

[OG LennyT]

military service is very honorable.. congrats to you both

Nobody has asked you have they... so stop pissing on a proud parents moment.

Even if there was not a war in progress mouthy turds like you would'nt have the guts to serve.

When the thread was posted it was to announce a proud moment and you come in here and give nothing but some stupid ass comment about how YOU would do this or YOU would not do that I would kill myself blah blah blah

guess what... THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT YOU IS IT!!! some threads are appropriate to take an assholes position on and some are not.

All yo accomlished was getting in the way of an adult conversation...people who can understand the long term benefits of a military background and you come in here and use it as some weak anti Bush platform.

OUR country is not happy with him at all across the board counting the days to get him out...

you can debate me all you want and I will keep coming back to this... shut your mouth you were not asked and there are times when you disagree with the very core of something you should just shut your fucking mouth and just keep walking... What have you done...serve your country?

This was a post where you thought you would look like some anti war guru... it was not about the war and it certainly not about what you and your opinion is...and the only thing you look like is some jerk off who shot thier mouth off PERIOD

Nobody asked for your opinion... be an adult and just keep your mouth shut...this had nothing to do with this fucked up war it was about a parent watching a child grow into an adult and you have no point of reference so again shut the fuck up.

[AdPatron]

What was the other ribbon for?

[Mr. Jim]

Most likely National Defense

[Lia19]

thats awesome congrats!!!! u should be proud 4 sure

Thanks BD this one hit a little close to home... and as you know I spar with trolls for sport...keeps the claws sharp Nothing is more irritating than uncalled for and unsolicited opinions on a personal matter involving family

Hey Peaches how are you ... your son has to be close to his EAS (End of Active Service) no?

[Kard63]

This thread is useless without pics.






Just fuckin with you dude.

You have a good memory - he would have finished up his Japan tour this Feb. with a possible EAS April next year. Unfortunately, he passed away in March, 05. I probably shouldn't have brought his graduation up, but V knows and shares how proud I was.

[DWB]

Congrats!!!!!

[shekinah]

[ayne468]

[tony286]

That should be posted again! Thank you and very well said. The " is anti-Bush no what" people are very very self centered and the really funny part is they do not have the ability to see their OWN agenda. They are robots that just repeat what the media and Hollywood movies tell them word for word.

With that being taken care of..............................

I am very happy for you baby! You did a great job and she is going to be a very very happy fulfilled girl in life. I hope you enjoyed your time together and I can't wait until you get back to the office so I could get all the details.

I agree!

The total disrespect for those serving in the US Military is horrible. People fail to understand you don't serve the US President, you serve the Office of the President - no matter what donkey is currently in there.

Congrats to both you and your daughter Brett.

[Vendzilla]

I knew someone would make an anti-war statement, these people would rather hide their head in the sand and wait till the fight comes to them and that's fine. I for one would rather see a world that pulls together for a greater good than one of closed borders. The other ribbon was the defense ribbon. And Peaches I do remember your loss, and the loss of other parents that lost there chidrens lives in this war. My daughter first came to me with idea of going in the military, she wanted to look at the army. I told her about the bullet proof vest and kevlar helmit that are part of the uniform and she asked about the Navy. Not too many sailors getting shot in the Iraq. For those that haven't served, you'll never understand,at 18, My daughter does and is a better person for it. She'll go far in life. She told me that if she gets the highest score in "A" school, she gets the pick of duty stations, so she told me she will be the highest score in her class. One of her chiefs was a bubblehead like her old dad and she now has a better understanding of me by talking to him, everyone else in her division thought he was a bit crazy, he made her feel like right at home. At this point, pride can't be measured!

chicks in uniform are HOT!!!!!!

The universe pays dividends to those who give positive energy and will punish the hollow leeches who are too scared to be a better person.

To be where I am in life, to appreciate what I have in life, and respect the choices made that represent my past, present and future....

You read what was posted and made a conscious choice to be a fuck head. What drives that impulse... to purposely disrupt an announcement by interjecting comments that have nothing to do with the thread?

It was done because you are a very dark and shitty person and cannot accept the pride and happiness others experience.

I read my words... I read yours... and I wish you the power to change. Your opinion is yours and that is your prerogative?but to be an asshole when a parent is sharing a proud moment is the measuring stick of your character.

The world is dark enough... and what makes you feel tightness in your throat as you read this... you know I am right.

?.and this was worth the 5 ½ minutes of ?too much time? to write, proof, and post.

its gfy, are you really surprised? while i'll agree despite massive disagreements with how things are being handled there is still pride in serving, as someone has to do it and i'm glad there are people out there still willing to put themselves on the line but in my opinon you're making too big a deal of out one comment. if you want to control who posts what, then don't post.

[miss_twisted]

I know your excited!! Congrats, you did well, of course she did too but she couldnt have done it if you hadnt raised her ;)

I made my point... stand by it... and will leave it at that. How you think I handled my own opinion is of no concern to me what so ever.

I could care less who posts... and if you do post... be prepared to handle the counter opinion. You stated you do not think it was worth the comments made for one comment...my counter opinion is I could care less what you think.

If you act like an asshole...you get treated like one in return. What is the big fucking mystery about that???

It blows my mind when sdomebody gets called out for acting like a jack ass suddenly they are a martyr.

If this guy is free to make stupid comments why am I handling the situation wrong by calling him out on it??? I read it... did not like his comments... felt they were out of place and out of line per the thread topic.

The real irony is your statement....The real question is...

Do you now want to control who posts?

Kind of sounds like it
