who' name shall not be spoke Reply #48 – March 28, 2008, 12:54:42 PM Cool, I didn't know we could delete posts - I deleted mine :DAs far as the O/P topic, I hope the kid gets his act together. I had a "friend" like this in the old neighborhood who went in with two of my other friends. I decided to take the college path, though them not being around (wanting to go get drunk) was good for me as well :hick: The one kid did get an early discharge - he smoked too much hash and didn't show up for roll call or passed out in line :hick: Some people can't be "fixed" - lol. Hopefully our friend does get his act together. Quote Selected

who' name shall not be spoke Reply #50 – March 30, 2008, 04:01:45 PM My son finished army basic 16 months ago and my daughter 12 months ago. They had it just like I did in army basic. It was 5 minutes from the moment we hit the door to get our food and eat it and be out the door. I told them to take stuff that they could make a sandwich out of and do that and just shove and chew 2 times and shallow and drink after each bite. I got 3-4 hours of sleep and they were not always in a row either. My kids got 4-5 hours a night and all in a row unless they had fire watch. We were yelled at and cussed at and shoved and hit and had things thrown at us. My DS's told us all that they were going to weed out the ones who could not hack it under sever stress since they didn't want them to fu_k up their army and get a fellow soldier killed because they froze. My kids got just about the same treatment as I did except for having things thrown at them. From my view of how it was for my kids in boot I would say it is for the better now then how it went after I did boot.My kids also said the same as me when they graduated from basic. It was fu_king tough but but I / they wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Quote Selected

who' name shall not be spoke Reply #53 – March 30, 2008, 11:06:26 PM You're either cut out for it or you're not. I have a lot of respect for you guys (and gals). My old man tried to push me into the USNA, but I knew I would never make it through it. I sent for the catalog, read every page, but when I landed a scholarship to St. Joseph's I took that instead. In my job I work "for" green-suiters every day in my capacity (and occasionally with them), but (of course, DUH) it can never be the same. As an engineer I can do my best to make sure that you get equipment that's the best we can build it (which can be really frustrating when there are so many knuckleheads in the business that don't know anything about software but attempt to make technical decisions about it). As an EN "he who's name cannot be said" probably won't run into my work but there's likely a piece of equipment on his ship with a little bit of me in it. I can't speak for the entire team's work, but my little pieces were BULLETPROOF. I can say that confidently. Quote Selected
who' name shall not be spoke Reply #54 – June 05, 2008, 12:46:34 AM He called again yesterday and is doing well.He has the a very high score in his class and gets done with A school in about two weeks. From the set of orders he has,, Id say he is doing really well and he is top of his class. Not too many average and even above average folks qualify for C school directly after A school and get offered mine sweeper duty. To beat it all, he is going to be stationed about 100miles from his home town (original home town). That in itself takes some seroious knee pads or some hard work. He wants permission from someone to be allowed to come back to the board. Im not sure who else he talks to and such but i have no rank or pull on here, just passing on the message.anyway,, good job so far, hats off to you. Quote Selected

Probably matured a lot. I know the military has done that to me. Quote Selected
who' name shall not be spoke Reply #56 – June 05, 2008, 03:21:26 AM I'd say he's learned a valuable lesson in life by being banned. After all, the kid does love the fox body. So if it helps at all, he has my vote. I,m sure all of us here have made more than enough mistakes that we regret. Quote Selected

That should be the deciding factor. In all honesty I don't see him getting un-banned soon though. he dug a really really really deep hole. Just my :2c: Quote Selected
