I was trying to remember. I was thinking that for the first week, they couldn't use them at all...... but I don't remember specifically. Mike is probably right about the incentive thing.
My youngest is home for the holidays. its great for me and his mother but taking this break in the middle of his traing sucks for him. He will have to go back and face the wrath of the drill sgts. all over again
the uniforms have certainly come a long way from when i first went in. I guess this proves how friggin old i am
Congrats Mike, you must be incredibly proud. Enjoy this time with your boy while he's home.
May I ask if he has to travel through Lambert Airport to return to duty? If so, tell him to stop by the USO there, and ask for Stu. That's my dad, and he volunteers at the USO almost every day of the week. My dad would be proud to shake your son's hand, and offer him any of the food they have on hand.
