Has anyone here served in the Military? I'm curious because I start Basic Training in October.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 08-26-2008, 10:54 PM

Nah, not for me. But that's great Lauren, good for you

Scoobiedoo30 · 08-26-2008, 11:35 PM

my cousin Husband did good luck Lara.

LuLu Rogers · 08-26-2008, 11:49 PM

Thanks Ashlee and Aaron! I'm looking forward to it.

Tom thinks I shouldn't put a still in my tent though.

Scoobiedoo30 · 08-26-2008, 11:55 PM

Agreed! Good luck! What prompted this decision?

Well, I've been thinking about the Army for a while now. I have several friends who've joined and it's changed their lives, they love it. I think I'll really enjoy it.

PZelda · 08-27-2008, 12:45 AM

I wouldn't mind joining... It'd give me structure and a rigid schedule in my life again. Plus you get to go overseas when you go on active duty. Sigh... Guy friend of mine was in the NG for a few years (honorably discharged now; he has really bad degenerative spine problems from an injury he sustained when he was on active duty in Germany in '05 and '06) and he talked about it a lot. Unfortunately the biggest reason I can't join is no hearing at all... bummer. Oh well. Also I seem to be developing joint problems, thanks to my dad's side of the family. I developed a bad knee at 21 and now I seem to be developing a bad neck (I was informed tonight that my dad's sister and his mom both have really bad neck problems, and the rest of my dad's brothers -- except my dad!! -- have really bad back problems).

Kick some ass, Lauren! And good luck!

that's GREAT, Lauren! Good luck with it!

In answer to your question, though, no I never have. My older brother was in the navy though, back in the 70s.

Hope you're still able to keep in touch with all of us hon!

Brian Damage · 08-27-2008, 02:24 AM

Yes, I was in the Navy for a few years. Good luck Lauren, basic training can be a killer for a variety of reasons, but once you complete it, there is no better feeling.

I remember you telling me about that, the Navy is cool

I have to lose a little weight before I can start basic, lucky me

LOL, but hopefully I'll be ready by October.

As you all know, my cousin Jamie was in the Army and was killed in Iraq last April. He always encouraged me to join up and I used to tease him that he only wanted me to join because he would get a bonus.

I know me joining would mean a lot to him.

And Allison, you may not be able to join the Army because of your hearing, but you're still the coolest ****in chick I know!

Wreckless · 08-27-2008, 02:42 PM

That takes a lot of guts Laura! Best of luck and hope you will still be able to join us during training etc. and afterwards. Keep your head up and go in there, feeling good!

This goes for me too! You certainly are brave for joining the military. I always thought it would be kind of a scary thing to do!

Wreckless · 08-27-2008, 02:46 PM

^ Yeah me too, I got scared when thinking about it.

treky · 08-27-2008, 03:59 PM

that goes for me too, Lauren! And good luck with losing weight, you know you're a good friend!!!

(even though we haven't talked by P.M. in a while)
