Oy, what a horrible thing to say. :p


Air Force. ;)

[KoboldKiller]

She chose Army.

[SlaytanicWarrior]

She chose Army.

Hooah!

[Borrigain]

She chose Army.

Congrats and Hooah! She picked the "best" service IMHO. What MOS she looking at?


Oh, and don't forget to tell her the 3 rules of working for the gov't.

1) Admit nothing
2) Deny everything
3) Make counter-accusations

And tell her not to be surprised and get discouraged when the Army uses it's mantra:

"If it aint' broke, fix it till it is"

Other than that.....enjoy. Her service will make you and her proud. :)
:D
Borr.
"11B Infantry all the way baby!"

[Strakeln]

Voluntarily? :eek:

While I may disagree with the choice, congrats on raising a daughter who is taking charge of her life and stepping quite gracefully into adulthood. All too uncommon, and something you should be very proud of. :)

[dawnyel]

Hope she gets the MOS she wants and station of choice. Good luck to her.

[Cowdenicus]

Oy, what a horrible thing to say. :p


Air Force. ;)


Hey now, not all of us sailors are bad, plus we do get to see more of the world (because at 20,000 feet does not qualify as seeing the world) :D

[Cowdenicus]

She chose Army.

The poor girl..... well I wont hold it against her, too much.

GO NAVY
HOORAH

[DoctorWhofan]

Oy, what a horrible thing to say. :p


Air Force. ;)

Bah! NAVY !!!!!!!!

[DoctorWhofan]

She chose Army.

I'm sorry.


;)

[Caelan]

please! marines all the way. nothing strikes fear in the hearts of men more than a marine... unless it's a female marine!

and even for the women they have the absolute best uniforms. and c'mon... even in the armed forces that matters! let's see, sailors... well, nco's still have those silly bellbottom pants and popeye hats. army... who really looks good in olive greeen? air force comes closest to looking okay but they still look too close to airline stewards/stewardesses.

after all, these (not the absolutely awesome accomplishment of deciding what is important to you and working your butt off to achieve it with courage and honor) are most important. :rolleyes:

okay, okay... so the uniform is a close second in priorities!

semper fi kobold killer... definitely something to be proud of

[Lithic]

Army? Pfft.

Airforce FTW.

How else are you gonna go through the Stargate?

[ZEFFLON]

congrats kk, from a chief in the navy i hope she does well. you should be proud just her qualifying for the service is hard to do now a days. As I kidnapped (recruited) for the Navy from 2000-2003. once again tell her good luck.

[Ringos]

Bah! NAVY !!!!!!!!

Double BAH! Air Force!!!

(...and congrats to your daughter!!!)

Congrats from the mother of a Marine.

Congrats to her for join us in the Armed Forces. While I am an Air Force guy we all work together for the most part as a joint force. All of the bases in the middle east will have people from each branch, yes even the coast guard puts some sand box time in. Tell her when she flies into action on the C-17 to not be afraid to tell the loadmaster hello. It may be me :)

[Bredger]

I joined up in the Air Force, and I have a relative in the Army and in the Marines. I almost joined the Navy too but I get the worst Seasickness ever. All the services have their drawbacks it seems but at the same time they all have advantages that appeal to specific poeple. Your made the right choice in branch so long as it was her choice and not the Army's. I feel everyone should serve their country but only if they have a choice as to "how"

Female Marines scare me, Army is pretty cool, Air force has the worst female uniforms with that wierd thing in the front of their pants. I swear they try to make the uniforms as unappealing as they can. As for the Navy, i cant even count how many uniform combinations they can wear. they can wear capes... CAPES!

[binnsr]

Bah! NAVY !!!!!!!!

You squids and your goat noises..

Gratz to KK on being an Army Dad! Hooah!
Go Army! Sink Navy!

[KoboldKiller]

Thank you all. I am very proud of her.

Didnt you know, every enlisted sailor..... well they think they are God.....

That being said, if anybody wants to explain to the poor girl a very accurate picture of the differences between enlisted and officers, this is the easiest way.


A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his GPS and replied, "You're are in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

"You must be enlisted," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."

The man responded, "You must be an officer."

"I am", replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You are lost due to your own incompetence and negligence but you want to blame someone else. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
