OT: to all former military folks hit me up, kinda need a favor

[Sharkinva]

Guys, if you served, Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, I need a solid. This is outside of fan rivalry and its a family thing. My youngest went off to boot camp a week ago. And any one thats served remembers the bitch that boot camp/basic could be. You also remember how much mail call could lift your head after a hard day. Im trying to do a mail blitz in about three weeks for my boy. Just post cards, good luck that sort of thing. Any one willing to help me with a post card solid hit me up and I will send out the address when he gets it to me.

Either way, thanks guys.

I'm not military, but I would be honored to send a postcard Shark. My pops was Navy and I dated a few military guys, all amazing gentlemen. And just so you don't worry, I AM a gal. Lol!

thanks Cali. Once I get his platoon address, I will send out a mass PM for all those that opted in. And non military are welcome too.

As for the guy/gal thing... I wasnt worried either way. LOL But thanks for clearing it up any way.

No worries, im so impressed with those who choose to join the service. It's such an honorable choice. Cheers to you and your son. I'm sure you are incredibly proud. As you should be.

Dont think he has figured out how proud of him I am yet, which is kind of why Im doing this. He is my youngest son, but to a degree he is my ace. And I extremely proud of him even if he doesnt know it.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Btw shark, just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your posts. They are always well thought out, informed and astute.

 

[Sharkinva]

thanks cali. I do try. Even if me and some of the old timers from Disney dont always see eye to eye. LOL

This is a great way of showing that! The first guy I was serious about went to the DLI in Monterey after basic and mail was huge highlight of the day for him, so I totally get it.

Did you go by that name there? I was on those boards under my current name. Even tho they got crazy, I really liked the interaction with the entire fan base of the nfceast.

Figure I will have a solid address on him next week since he hast dropped in Platoon until tomorrow. Once i do, I will update this thread and any one who decides to opt in is welcome. IM not expecting real names, just a post card or something wishing him well, as I know all too well how much mail call can mean to him right now.

Hey Shark it be honor to send your son a post card and a thank you. I served in the 365th Engineering Battalion U.S Army back in the 80's and know what basic training was like back then. Stand tall and be proud. HTTR

 

[apratt21]

Yea, I'm big on thanking anybody who has decided or has served in our military so this life of freedom can be mine to live. However, he might scratch his head and say "who in sam blazes is Apratt21" but I guess the ladies in camp there along with him will fell him in on that.

Shark,

Thank you, and your son for your service to our Country. Without men like you, none of this is possible. My Pops is a retired Navy Captain with 32 years of service. Unfortunately, I was too focused on "me" out of college rather than service for my country...biggest regret of my life.

I would be honored to thank your son.
