[XxgoetfacexX]

was at RTC great lakes july 2003 Division 311. I forget the ship, we moved from the old ships to the nice big, air conditioned ones. Was seperated for medical-retinal tear, right eye. Seperation ship was ok at first, but 2.5 weeks there gets old quick. Avoid medical as the other person said, cuz if the doc writes you for sep due to medical your out! Navy seems to be one of the toughest when it comes to medical. BTW i've neverhad any problems with my eye since, pisses me off. Haze fukin grey.

Wow, this is quite interesting. I graduated in August 2007, ship 11, division 266. Oh the memories. Great video, loved it.

[kevinlovestina07]

i went there from Aug88 till oct 88 Co 934 Flag company Made a lot of friends

[legrand30]

Great video. I reported to bootcamp 10 years ago to the day. Stirs up some great memories.

I was there from June 24th 08 - August 7th 08. I ended up tearing my ACL and got discharged. Division 301 - Ship 5. Boot camp wasn't bad, Ship 17 (Separations) was awful though! Anyone that is planning on going, do as you're told. AVOID MEDICAL! Stay strong and do as you're told and you'll do fine.

Great pics by the way. Brings back memories haha. - I may join the Army now if they'll let me in since the Navy wants me to have surgery first. Otherwise I'd go back there.

This made me cry! How proud you must be! I especially loved the baby pics of your son in the sailor outfits. My daughter is in GL right now, ship 07, div 352. On her first birthday her dress was a sailor dress!

[rainyskies2]

Actually, this is my nephew. My sister made these videos of his graduation & I uploaded them for her. I liked the photos of his sailor outfits through the years too. We ARE very proud of him and the thousands of others who are serving or have given their lives for the rest of us. Thanks for your kind words...
