Could very well be. My boy told it to me, but I haven’t chased it down.

There's a dozen stories out there. Probably no way too know for sure anymore.

To you motherfrickers who served our country...

Thank you for sacking up and protecting our nation and its values when you could have spent your youth doing anything else. I know the present state of America doesn't reflect the liberty and freedom you thought you were serving/sacrificing for, but your contributions have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. You undertook one of the most thankless and difficult jobs so that we could all sleep a little easier.

On this day, I pray that all you patriots receive a gigantic raise, a blow job, and a warm meal. Or whatever it is you really want.

Some people just dont like the military.

How is your son's plebe year going? It's about that time of year where if they arent in ACU's, literally everything is gray- clouds, uniforms, buildings I saw Fox Sports on the Plain for Veterans Day, it seemed like the cadets were enjoying themselves.

Father: Us Navy 1954 - 1958.

Middle brother: USMC 1979 -1983

Youngest brother: US Army 1979-1982

Myself: US Air Force 1981-1985.

We always goofed on my sister to join the US Coast Guard, so that we could "complete the cycle." She didn't wanna hear about that.

Let's just say the novelty of being at West Point has worn off and the grind has set in. Gets tired of spending every weekend on the post and having to be in full uniform if he steps outside his door.

Saw him a couple of weeks ago. Was supposed to be Family Weekend there, but he made rowing team and was at an event in Philly. Was really good to see him after the turmoil of the missing cadet.

If you watched the Fox pregame and saw the part with Jon Bon Jovi, you saw my boy. He was the tall one on the set/field when they were running plays and then just standing up there while the Fox guys talked with JBJ. Was a fun thing for him, since he was kind of chuffed that he was supposed to be in NYC on a pass and got tasked to be at the event.

Thanks for asking.

Thats great. Without giving too much away I was working in the central area for the last few months on post, but was recently reassigned elsewhere.

Like I said a few months ago it's a special place.

One of the times I wish this place had a private message function.

We went into NYC to watch the parade. Pretty cool. Watched the President's motorcade go flying up fifth ave heading to the starting spot. Settled in next to some Marines on 42nd St to watch the parade. They were heckling DeBlasio and Cuomo when they came walking by. Good times.
