Another place and time eh? As I move through my fifties, my memories of my childhood come back when least expected. 1968-Driving through pre-I95 Delaware at 4am for a day of fishing. Jim Reeves playing on the radio, my Dad humming along, "He'll have to go", or Leroy VanDyke, "Walk on bye"...

I am certain that there are many here to correct any mistakes to the following comments, so feel free. Also as a father of a Marine option freshman. It is my understanding that both are going to end up where their effort and class placement takes them. NROTC group will probalby know each...

Hey 2012Dad, Did you miss the #51 Ranking in Ice Hockey? :shake: Sorry, I just could not resist! The success of Army in scholastics and sports is inspiring!

Cant't hide my Irish! :rolleyes:

So MD, if I hear you correct, these two gentlemen are not real Marines? https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/famous_grads.aspx Carl E. Mundy Jr., Commandant, US Marine Corps -Auburn University Walter Boomer, Commander Marine Ground Forces, Operation Desert Storm Duke University I am not...

Good points for an argument against sleeve tattoos. I will continue to stress the perception issue with any tattoos, shoulder, bicep, ect. Hard to argue this one, with Grandpop having one since North Africa!

Thank you for the reply. This has been an ongoing debate with my son. Doing some internet research, I came up with this argument against the tattoo idea. "During the interview and PFT process, your body markings or lack of are documented. This is how you are expected to report on first day...

I seem to recall this discussion, but can find no record of it. What is the NROTC policy on tattoos? If they are located on biceps and/or shoulder.

Thanks LITS, Having trouble with the letting him go part of this summer. Hopefully, all your children will be honored. And the parents also USMA Glee Club got this one right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWhYCoTGZpg&feature=related

Wow, I'm assuming that somebody out there would know this one. I asked my son about this and we agreed that it is a good question to know for a number of reasons!! How about your list? Did it include a phone number at the end like my sons list has? Feel free to call that number. Best luck

Common flyersboy, a ankle sprain? Really? And your a flyers fan? Just kidding, best of luck flyboy! Represent Philly well.:shake:

Watching my son fill out ROTC forms, and Pittsburgh winning in June is more than I can bear!!!!

WOW! Nobody gives a snowballs chance for Pitt. Does not speak well for ratings. All 24 people in Pittsburgh and 12 in Detroit can watch this one. #6 on the top ten reasons we hate Detroit. The "Hockeytown" name. If Detroit is such a great hockey town, why are there empty seats in the arena...

Can I watch a series while my stomach cramps up? These are the two teams I most likely did NOT want to see. Any city that has to tell you its Hockeytown is not. And any true Philly guy is not now or ever going to root for Pittsburgh! Teams to root for that need a cup; Philadelphia...

Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Larry Mullen pajamas :shake:

God bless you Sarah wherever you are. We honor you and all that have gone before you A few nights ago, I walked a quiet mile with hundreds of other service members. It was a clear night in Bagram, Afghanistan. Although it was late, the birds were singing, perhaps roused by the unusual...

For a change, I an now wanting to live closer to NYC! I could watch them sail in. My son is with Sea Cadets on board. Once in a lifetime experience for those who get to watch the parade of ships.

Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received. Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD He who spares the wicked injures the good. Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD) At one point I used many Winston Churchill quotes. But as I get older, it becomes harder to forgive some of his...

Frozen Four is on my bucket list. Sorry about your Preds. Good run at the end. At least they owned the stinkin Red Wings this year! Hope they stay in Nashville for three years. Good luck

LITS, Late reply I know. Never miss a chance to talk hockey! Your post states you watched the semi's. Did you make it to the final? What an ending!!! Feel sorry for the Miami captain. AF was at the top this year, and although Army did not make the top 20 national, they were very...
