I really don't think we want GW to be the second go round of Skippy.

Post by: Snowleopard on March 19, 2013, 02:11:52 AM
SHS - Superninjatackleglomps.
How have you been?  ((((((((((SHS))))))))))
I hope everything is okay?
Have you headed out yet or is that after you finish school?
(I'm betting on you to have the higher rank myself)

And on another note - What have you blown up lately?? ::) ::)
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Dina on March 19, 2013, 02:18:10 AM

I really hope you see each other.
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Snowleopard on March 19, 2013, 02:20:29 AM
I just had a thought.
Would they recognize each other?
I know SHS posted a pic and so did GW - but did the other one
see it.  They could be on the same base and not know it.
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Dina on March 19, 2013, 02:25:38 AM
I now SHS real name, but I don't know if GW knows. But I don't know if they are going to the same place.
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Sir Huron Stone on March 19, 2013, 02:28:24 AM
I think I remember what GW looks like, but I'm not sure.

 Hey Snowy! I head out June 24th, ten days after graduation. And I'm fine. Just been busy. As for what have I blown up.... well, the finishing room in woodshop has quite alot of flammables in it... It wasn't my fault though! It was the other guy that pulled out the lighter! He's still growing back his eyebrows too... My burns have all healed though!
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Snowleopard on March 19, 2013, 02:31:06 AM
Ah, you will be missed SHS. :(
Please send us your address so we can write you also or send you care packages.
(Just let us know what we can or cannot do/send/or say so we don't cause trouble.)
It wasn't your fault!  RIGHT!!!  If I buy that one there are lots of people willing to sell me a bridge.
Seriously, I'm thinking your totem ought to be a Phoenix.

I think SHS is going for PsyOps - but I don't know what branch of the service.
I suspect that each branch has different basic training locations.
When we finally get addresses - I also hope that somebody lets us know what you should
or shouldn't say or send to someone so we don't cause them any trouble.
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Sir Huron Stone on March 19, 2013, 02:34:14 AM
Good rule of thumb: No food. Ever. Ever. Ever.
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Snowleopard on March 19, 2013, 02:36:12 AM
Yeah, I think you mentioned that before.
That and not using any ranks because the wrong rank can cause
a lot of trouble.
Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Snowleopard on March 19, 2013, 02:43:51 AM
Are we taking bets on whether GW becomes the second incarnation of Specialist Skippy.
Given his contrary nature - it's even odds that it will happen. ::) ::)

Anyway SHS - you take very good care of yourself and have a great week.
Hopefully you'll be around a bit before you head out.
Many hugs.  ((((((((((((((((((((SHS))))))))))))))))))))

Who says you can't send food?  I recently had a friend and a family member in the sand box and I sent treats to both of them.  I don't know why the rules would be different during boot camp or school/training.  Hmmmm.  Gonna have to ask.

Title: Re: See Ya
Post by: Dina on March 19, 2013, 06:02:26 AM
I have the suspicion it has something to do with the way the recruit is regarded. If he receives food, he is regarded as a spoiled baby or something like that. It's just a suspicion.
If SHS says no food, I wouldn't send food anyway.

It's been too long since I knew someone who was in boot camp, but once they're in the field, as long as they share (and I sent plenty to be shared), those who receive treats are quite popular.  (But it's academic at this point since I don't have an address to send goodies to anyway.)

This is the Military - probably yes.
Hey, we can send GW and SHS books, toiletries and such stuff.
OOh, just had an ebul idea ::) - send the boys - sappy romance novels.
No, on second thought, I think they'd probably end up getting a LOT of shit
and teasing because of it.  So nix on that.
I'm sure that the guys will tell us what they'd like.

As soon as I hear from my son, I'll post the address so that everyone can send notes and cards.  They'll need them.

(Anyone know GW's RL name?)

As to WHAT to send them ... Do NOT send anything to eat to them while they are in Basic Training (the next 8-weeks).  They get enough to eat, and if you send something they will be forced to eat ALL of it right then, then do sit-ups or push-ups until they "return" the food.

You can send them all the letters and cards and pictures you want.  NO risque ones and EVERYONE gets to see the pictures.
Title: Re: See Ya

I think the best idea would be to ask the boys what they want and what

[REDACTED NAME] is GW's real name

also please for address

Thank you very much, Ma'am.  I should know something in the next week.  They are SUPPOSED to be shipping back everything he took with him (clothes, shoes, glasses, phone, toothbrush, ... EVERYTHING) like tomorrow.  And in there is supposed to be his address and the correct way to address it TO HIM.  I'll post that here as soon as I get it.

I would limit it to cards and letters.  In fact if you want to send (up to PG rated) pictures, it would be best to print them on regular paper.  If they feel something odd in an envelope they'll make the recruit open it right then and there and show everyone.  Regular paper is cool though.

Yup glasses.  He'll get issued Official US Government glasses.  Though I think his current glasses would probably pass for the USG one's.  Thick black frames.   Hey!  He picked them out.

lol they sound a bit like my NHS glasses (thick dark blue frames... but I have dicided I like wire rim glasses better... the weight is better on my small face, lucky you get some choice on the NHS, not much but some)
I still would not like people messing with my glasses
I fined them useful and have to make them last as long as I can as replacing them costs money

This is tiring
1) I don't remember him posting his real name here.
2) I do remember him saying he never used it, so nobody in the Forces could find him here.
3) You are not to post private information of another member without his permission
4) His profile is not linked to a twitter account, so the fact that his twitter account is public is irrelevant here.
5) Remove it just in case, and Otlan, Rasins, you too. Remove it from CWG quote in your posts, please.

Edited: Thanks, CWG!!!

it openly.

Whatever you think they'd like.  I'm planning on sending Joshua a picture of our family, and one of a set of gamming dice.  Maybe one of the TARDIS too.  I figure those are Geek things and since he's going to go to Geek school (Nuclear training) he should fit right in, while giving him a little jab while he's in basic.

Since we aren't allowed to send GW food, I thought I'd post things that I wish I could send him.  Like these peanut butter cupcakes.

Sorry, I think I just drooled on GW's thread.  We might need to mop that up.

I just posted this in the other thread, but I thought here would be good too.

We just received the box with my son's clothing and such in it.  I don't know if there's an address because I'm told there's some form letters we are supposed to be getting as well, and those for sure have them in it.

I've also learned that it's possible that they are NOT in the same ship.  Ship being the barracks they live in during Boot Camp.  I'll try to find out more.

lol they sound a bit like my NHS glasses (thick dark blue frames... but I have dicided I like wire rim glasses better... the weight is better on my small face, lucky you get some choice on the NHS, not much but some)
I still would not like people messing with my glasses
I fined them useful and have to make them last as long as I can as replacing them costs money

I've got steel rims. Very natty. They make me look like some Commie agitator. :D

Okay all - Sorry for the delay, but I've got Joshua's address.  I've sent it to Dina, Snowleopard, and shades of grey (They asked.)

Got it Raisins.
What kind of things is your son interested in?
I assume that you want us to just send a normal letter
not a card?  Or is a silly card okay?
I don't want to get him into dutch with his superiors
or getting grief from his fellow recruits.

Snow - You are welcome to send cards.  Silly cards are fun.  Please don't send him singing cards.  My mother sent one to my nephew when HE was in boot and they made him dance the Snoopy dance every day for a week.  The card was playing the Peanuts theme.

As to what he's into ... Anime, gaming - mostly role playing.  He used to lie in his bed for hours listening to pod casts of gaming.

Thank you.

Dina - I told him that before he left, but I'll write it to him as well.

Do you think I would have survived boot camp any other way?  Psssh. I scaled it way back. Very few people knew the real me. One of my RDC's favorite things to say to people was "Don't be weird dude." And when he said it to me, it was almost  a personal attack.
