If I get stationed in Virginia,

(which is what I'm hoping for), George, you and I should go surfing sometime.

 

I wanna come!

 

I won't stop you!!!

 

more like stationed in baghdad

 

Can't get stationed in Baghdad.

 

virginia is rather close to where i will be living in a month and a half..

 

Yeah, I don't know where the army housing is around here, but I know there's a military housing complex at VA Beach. I know plenty of people in Fort Eustis, which is mainly just army transportation...


Do you know what you're specializing in?

 

wewtttt~

 

If you're stationed in VA Beach....I'm going to come stalk you!

 

Ahah... showtunes.

 

i ate a baybeh

oh aye

baybeh.



if i pass high school in two years... i'm going to station myself in virginia

 

That'd be weird if you decided to move to Virginia and then I was like "Hi Meg, I'm moving... to Southern Ontario "

 

Field artillery. :H
I'm hoping to go light, as there are a lot more places I could choose to go to, rather than if I were doing heavy artillery. Right now I'm checking out Ft. Lee's homepage to see if they have artillery stationed there, but I don't think they'd give that information out on the internet..... but out of all the military installations in the state, you'd think that at least one of them would have a battery of Howitzers.



And everybody else: lets have a big party someday. Especially if I'm being sent off to war. It could be fun. Like showtunes fun, y'all.

 

Teh Army. :H

Interested in joining? I know all kinds of crazy propaganda that will make you cream your pants. Just kidding.

 

Isnt it ironic that the Christian is interested in joining the army (no offence George)

 

Well, you know My chief concern is to try to be an humble, earnest Christian, but to be honest, it doesn't have much anything to do with your religion. Frankness is the child of honesty and courage, hatred the child of hostility and jealousy. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion, and take it for granted that you mean to do right, though I don't always agree with the cause as, despite others, I like to think before I complete an action or say something others could deem to be, well... stupid.

Some people need the military because they don't have anywhere else better to go and they feel like making something out of their lives. If the GI Bill didn't have it's cut throat, you'd still have a good education plan too. I wouldn't join anything outside of the USCG or USN, because everyone who was military, in my family, has always been naval since the Godspeed, Discovery, and the Susan Constant landed at Jamestown Colony. Some of my ancestors' bodies lie with the CSS Merrimac, off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC; took part in the Chesapeake Bay blockade and siege of Yorktown in the American Revolution; my grandfather was the head cook of a ship in the Korean War; and my dad tended buoys in nearly every river between Alabama and Tennessee.

That's what it's there for... having an option to say you've done something with your lives, at the least, perhaps leave a legacy--though alot of people that come out of combat are ending up homeless after getting discharged and spending everything they had because they have nowhere else to go.

And as far as dubya goes, as Robert E. Lee said, I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.

 

Thou Shalt Not Kill

Thats pretty ironic, no?

Its also interesting ,that you say I should shut my mouth, becuase Christians have ben persecuting people for opening their mouths for thousands of years.

Yes, you talk shit towards my beliefs by telling me I'm wrong. I dont say you are wrong. You might be right.

I've gotten over my religious hatred and to a less extent my armed forces hatred. But together they really shit me off.

I honestly dont care whether you are here or not, considering its an online forum with no relevance to my "real" life...............but if you are a conservative Christian.........why are you here?

 

Catholics have been persucuting people for opening their mouths for thousands of years. John Paul II made an apology for that one.

What makes me wonder is why do you care so much as to care for the well being of others while criticizing and putting others down at the same time?

That's why the US is here, if you haven't forgotten.... if 1622 rings a bell.

 

That is really....awesome.

My grandfather's cousin married Omar N. Bradley, if that means anything.

He was in the Navy during World War 2 (in the Pacific), and he fought in Korea... My dad was in the Army for 20 years and went all over the world.... he was sent to Bosnia, that was the closest he was to fighting in a war. (He really wanted to go to Iraq but instead they retired him)

Ah, the stories we could share
I've got more, but, whatever.

My father's ancestoral history is fairly unknown, but I'm sure there is a lot of military roots in it, whereas my mother's (Germans) was traced back to the 1200's by her and her cousin a few years ago. I share a birthday with an ancestor of mine who was born in 1789....

 

I'm related to the Custis, Dandridge, and Byrd families (old VA families, I think possibly Senator Byrd of West Virginia, treasurer John Snow)... and all the Snowdens in Scotland. That would mean I'm like... etc. etc. cousin once removed of George Washington, nephew of Robert E. Lee, William Byrd (first governor of VA), and a blood relative of Eleanor Parke Custis, related by marraige to Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, Rear Admiral Byrd (lead an expedition to Antarctica). Lady Washington was born one county Northwest of here, in New Kent, VA. That'd also mean I was a etc. etc. grandson of Lighthorse Harry Lee, as well as having family loyal to England at the same time... all of this would make me kin to to Chief Powhatan, Mary Kennon, George Wythe Randolph (of Randolph Macon College fame), John Rolfe, Jane Rolfe (granddaughter of Pocahontas), Samuel and Alexander Cooper, John Hoskins, Fitz Lee, Mary Bolling, John Wickham, Anne Stith, and President Woodrow Wilson, and there's been speculation that that Robert Bolling Jr. was also in our family, which would make us related to the Bush dynasty ...


I probably have plenty more I don't even know about. I'm also my own eighth cousin... and heir to a moonshine empire. I also have alot of Bavarian ancestry.

I know who Omar Bradley is... Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff in WWII.. Chief of staff of the army.

"Chief Powhatan's other chief village, Werowocomoco, is an archeological site in Gloucester County, Virginia (I live 50 yards from the geographic center of this county, where the original 1651 courthouse lies) which has been listed as a National Historic Site." Oddly... my friend's grandparents own the old site of Chief Powhatan's house and chimney that is still standing today.

I love genealogy.
