On a side note, I used like the U.S. Army recruiting ads, they went something like this "We do more before 7 in the morning than you do all day!" And that's supposed to attract people lol?

...and with ads like the above your whole country will one day be defended entirely by Nannies from the Philippines!

Hope he has a ton of fun!

Yay for Gabe!

Enjoy the break too!

I always liked those ads WII. The ones that irritated me were the reserve ads about how you work all weekend and come back to your civilian life Monday all energized. Those always made me want to throw something at the tv and yell F you! LOL

[mishka422]

LOL! Yeah, those 'energized' ads were STUPID! Who the heck believes that?

Of course, I don't think anything could top that annoying 'army of one' stuff. That just didn't make any sense to me! I understand the concept but I think it was lost on a lot of people.

Now I just have to get Gabe to stop teasing that the Air Force dress uniforms look like Greyhound bus driver uniforms. That annoys the crap out of Marc. LOL

[MichelleLT]

Yeah, Army of One was dumb.

My fav was always the classic "be all that you can be". How can you beat that?

Of course, that's better than the Navy and looking like a waiter.

LOL! Oh too true! My co-worker's son just graduated navy boot camp. They look so ridiculous in those white sailor suits. CRACKS ME UP.

I always came home with a hangover!

I was in the Navy. Our ad for awhile was "it's not just a job, it's an adventure." Which of course we had to twist around by going around saying its not an adventure, its just a job!

Does anyone else ever feel like the moment you think you have things in order and you just might be getting somewhere, that's when 'fate' rises up and bashes you over the head while laughing maniachly (sp)?

So, everything was set to drive Marc to Albany on Sunday morning to start his 1 week CAP encampment which is required for him to promote any further. Saturday he went to the movies with friends and called me afterward to ask if he could stay and go swimming with them. My stupidity, I said yes. I get a call an hour later saying he's ready to come home but someone is going to have to help him to the car. He's hurt his knee. Oh yeah, great! He couldn't walk at all on it. We iced, ibuprofened, elevated....by Sunday morning at the time we would have had to get up to leave, the swelling was down but he still couldn't walk. So, instead of going to Albany, we went to the ER.

Fractured tibia. 6 weeks minimum immobile. ARGH!

If I could just run away, I would.

I'm so sad for him and so mad at myself for not listening to my inner voice that said not to let him go. Stupid.

Ouch!

Make sure he keeps it elevated, takes some vitamin D and magnesium to help it heal.
