Go Navy!

[trike lady]

I watch the taped graduation ceremonies for the Navy every Friday, it is wonderful to see young people doing something positive and making something of themselves. We always seem to read about and see the 'Idiots', but never hear anything about the 'Good' ones.

This is where the videos are located and you have to follow the links to get to the taped version or if you're an early riser you can see it live.

I find it very enjoyable to see that there are young men and women who will defend America.

Dang, I wish I were young again, because I'd join them.

You can see today's graduation here: https://www.dvidshub.net/video/544608/navy-recruit-training-command-graduation

I wonder if the other branches of the military show the ceremony to the public. I'd enjoy seeing those also.

I agree with trike lady ... good to see positives ... not sure I'd want to go back to being young again.

Well, maybe if I could know what I know now and be 18 ... boggles the mind ... would of never got married, so I would not of had to get rid of half my stuff three times ... although ... marriage wasn't so bad ... it was the divorce that was the pits. Would know what type of vehicle I liked and wouldn't of kept buying them ... would still own my 53 Harley and my 57 chevy. Would of never put my name on the family business ... you know .. think about the mistakes you could eliminate in your life. :xzqxz:

I'm not even gonna think about the stock market.

Navy P-3 aircrew - acoustic and non-acoustic sensors, in flight technician, radio. Made E-5. Liked being a second class petty officer, but hated being a second class citizen in some officers eyes.

Thank you for your service.

There's another good thing I do and many people may think its a bit odd. If I see a member of our military in uniform, I walk up to them, thank them for their service and shake their hand. Many are surprised when you do that.
