Dammit I can't think of anything funny no matter how hard I try...

Must be your son. Location looks too cold for me though...I thought they had stopped allowing them to wear the old style Dress Blues though. They had switched to something more like a suit when I was in, I hated it but could still buy the old style one, like he's wearing, and I did. something like a year later they were requiring the new zoot suits though, I was in the last year allowed to opt for the old uniforms.

Cool Sans my youngest is in the Air Force! Hows the kid doing?

He's doing GREAT . . . already at POWER COMMAND SCHOOL in Charleston.
Young man is blooming, I'm very proud, though I still have that fathers urge to walk beside him.

He had to purchase three uniforms.
I forget the acronyms.
Has the dress blue, one for daily dress with a tan top, and his work uniform in the Naval blue digital camo.

I forget the names too, have they dropped the dress whites? I hated those...no such thing as clean after about an hour or so...

Wait a minute...PURCHASE uniforms??? What happened to issuing the damn things? The only reason I had to buy anything was to get the older "sailor suit" since I hated the suit type they issued. Damn thing looked almost exactly like a business suit except for the hat. Yuk...

Glad he's doing well, hope he likes it better than I did, 5 minutes after I got there I wanted out, hated every minute of it. First thing they did was some guy walked up and slammed a navy manual on a podium and yelled

UNCLE SAM NOW OWNS YOU.

I hated it from that second forward, nobody owns this kid.

Billy, George has a plan to get his education and is willing to do what he needs.
Besides he really looks forward to being on ship.

No dress whites mentioned, and yes, everything, even his food on base is automatically deducted from his pay.

I hate that though he is man enough to serve, his country's governance is not honorable enough to deserve his service.

#1 problem in the USA...

RESPECT THOSE THAT KEEP US FREE FROM TYRANNY and the govt can't swing it properly.

We had to wear whites for daily wear. Sure didn't stay clean long on a ship. Dress Blues weren't so bad. I don't know why they put the bib on the back.

Glad he's doing so well, hope he sticks to that education thing.

WHAT??? They want these boys to put their lives on the line for their country and too cheap to even FEED THEM? I heard benefits were dwindling away but I didn't know they were being screwed from day one...

That is unacceptable. Just where the hell are those billions of military dollars going that our gov't is spending? They want billions to keep us in Afghanistan, which Obummer of course lied about, and they don't even have the decency to feed the damn troops? I bet Washington would have done really well treating HIS troops like that...

useless bums...I think they ALL need to be impeached...and prosecuted. How low can you get?

Sorry George, I don't mean to drag this into the gutter of political threadville, but this really pisses me off. At least they fed me...

WOW Billy... You are one great American! First for understanding what is happening... Second for having the balls to speak up about it.

You ARE... A great player too. Smile Bro...G

I'm no "great American", just an ordinary guy with a keen sense of what's right and what's wrong. And nobody is going to tell me I can't say so.
