Top Ten Lines Home From Boot Camp...

[K]

I just got a letter from my son today and there is this one line that makes me chuckle over and over again...I thought it might be fun to share these if anyone else has any. I considered putting it in context for ya'll but thought it wouldn't be as funny. So, in David Letterman style, I will start with my so far funniest line home from my son was:

"I guess not everybody appreciates ninjas."

[Cynthia (#410)]

ROTFLOL :))

[Deborah]

The first week in his BC he said "I am having fun...I am learning to clean everything."

[Cynthia (#410)]

"I love my bed" - upon arrival home for Christmas break

"I sleep under my fire blanket so I don't have to make my bed" [he never did like to make his bed]

Deadpan monotone: "It's Navy food, Mom. It all looks the same. It all smells the same. It all tastes the same." (we all laughed really hard at this)

The Navy has a couple dozen ways to describe rice - white rice, buttered rice, wild rice, dirty rice, mexican rice, rice pilaf, etc. etc. etc. (this one got a big laugh at our house too)

My sailor has been out of bc for a while so most of what he's said has been from this Christmas' break between A school and Power school but he still says some funny things. Ooyah!

This site is great. I needed the laughs.... This should be one of the main ones on the forum page.

Here's a good one that kept my sailor out of debt with his little brother this Christmas holiday -

"when fit hit the shan" instead of ... well, you know

Little bro' charges 25 cents for every ugly word (not just cuss words) spoken in our house. He certainly is doing a good business with his Dad - hee hee - but the air is getting cleaner around our house.

"got my BC (boot camp or birth control) glasses, I'm "bringing sexy back"."

[Scott - Megan's Husband]

"we got some IT for the first time today and it sounded like an orgy in here with all these girls moaning"

[Michael's Mom]

My son writes:
Whenever an inspection takes place, not doing something or anything close is called an FFI. We hear it alot. Well, while cleaning the head in the chapel, one of crewmembers was talking about when God told Abraham to kill his son, Isaac, and didn't do it. Then the recruit squiints and says, "That's an FFI!" It stands for Failure to Follow Instruction.

Too funny...

My son got all 4 wisdom teeth pulled. Then he wrote, "The food is great except for when your face is numb and you drool while you eat."

[Joey, Katie's Mom]

My daughter told me she found out:

"she is allergic to ice- her symptoms are slipping and falling".

I am glad she has her sense of humor at boot camp. I laugh every time I think of this.

[Cathy from Newton, Ks( Nate Div 098 Ship 10)]

Cathy from Ks. My son writes his brother and sister. " I 'll let you in on a little secret that I learned here at Boot Camp, " Shut up and do what you are told" and it works wonders."

[Rene]

Talk about dramatics....this was my all time fave from my son.....

Mom, these people here have no souls...........

Hmmmm. I'm thinkin he was having a rough day that day! hahahahaa
