I got a phone call tonight.

He is alive, exhausted, and misses everyone very much.  Besides missing His hair, Salem says He's adjusting well, and isn't the oldest man there.
He got to leave base last night, and found a bar. Three guesses who got loose and the first two don't count.

He's hoping to get online soon and at least cruise the boards.

I feel better now!

looks at Raz........ they get to go Bar hopping in boot camp...... man we got cheatedddddddddddddd

[Amber]

Apparently!  Cause my boot camp had barb wired and huge gates, and fences and stuff, and we weren't allowed to go anywhere until the two days after graduation before we left for our schools when I was in.  And that was the Navy -rofl-

same here Amber.... same here

Does anyone know which Camp Salem went to basic at? Because we just found out a few weeks ago that OE's baby Brother enlisted too and shipped out to basic trainign the same day as Salem. We are wondering if perhaps they might be in the same training center. We figured OE's baby Bro would be the oldest at boot camp LOL since He is 28. Anyway we are just curious..would be kinda cool if they know each other.

As I posted on his Facebook when he announced he had been let out for the weekend after week 2... OMG They let you out during basic? aren't they afraid you will lose everything they have taught you in those 2 weeks? ~snorts~ Even Ray was shocked, then he also remembered it was in Canada and since they make you do all the hard work before you go in, then they think that letting you out on week 2 is a good thing for morale...

[Raziel]

So much for the whole..."We have more longer and advanced training" concept.  I can see why.  They let you out after a week or so and then have to retrain you each time.  That is pretty sad.

I did both Navy and Army.  They were the same.  Train train train...then maybe, before graduation you got liberty/weekend pass.

And going to a bar and getting loose?  Well, there are some smarts right there.  Good exemplary leadership skills in the making.  You talk to him again, tell him he should crap on the bar hopping.  Wont look good on his jacket/fitrep if he gets kicked out for drinking and getting caught up in a barfight.  I cannot count how many times I would have to go and get my guys out of jail or from the bar because they were stupid.  And they werent even in basic.  Fast track straight to court martial and/or brig right there.

yea my old roomie had gotten a dishonroable discharge from the navy... why? all he did was get drunk... when he was ordered to to pt he didnt cause he was alwyas too hung over to go... then when they were gonna leave to go on a ship and do a one month training... he was so hung over the he threw up on the bus... so they pulled over... kicked him off the bus and left his ass on the side of the road while they all went to go get on the ship...

then... after a very hung over three mile walk back to the barracks... they told him he was being kicked out for failing to follow the movements of his ship!

-laughs- so yeah someone tell salem that hes better off looking at the bar then actuaccly going into it!

The methods of training in Canada may seem odd and strange to those of us in The States.

However... we do acknowledge this was a choice my True made to serve his Country. That can't be taken away from him nor can it be overlooked because their training is different.  I have no doubt he is just as Patriotic and proud of Canada as we are of The United States.

I know none here are directing anything negative towards Salem. We are mostly just a bit taken aback by the training methods, since they are so far removed from what Basic is in the U.S.

Even I am at a bit of a loss. It seems odd to me to encourage my True with "hang tough".... "hang in there".... etc.... when he is permitted to go party. But no matter.

True... serve and learn well... be the best you can possibly be.

You are missed!
