I have to share this with you all...my son was being processed for something and when they pulled his name up on the computer, it also pulled another Tyler that was in the CTI program over 50 years ago...it was his grandfather!!!

That is just too cool that you have logging in common. Small world eh? My fathers side of the family logged in the Sierra's when the railroad was being built. They came down from Idaho for the work and were in charge of moving the logs across lake Tahoe. If you drive on Highway 50 around the Lake, there is an historic plaque (or 2) that have not so kind words about the Camerons.
Also, thanks for the hairspray tip. I new about the toothpaste but I actually hope he goes with the hairspray so I can imagine the looks he'll get at the NEX when he cheks out.

My KC sent me a picture of him standing by a sign telling him to beware of mountain lions. He loves going to the mountains on the weekend. I hope one doesn't jump out at him!!!!

Regarding the pen marks, try hairspray.

I'm missing my son something terrible today. Just thought i'd share.

Anyone have any good idea's on how to pen marks out of dress whites? Tide pen didn't work.
Seems there was a Gremlin running around at the PIR marking up the new Sailors cause almost all of them had pen marks on their whites and in really random/bizare locations.

My son and his room mate found out the hard way about what CT13Spencer just mentioned. Say "hey bud" to a Captain...when he turned around they quickly snapped to attention and saluted. The Captiain was nice about it though (thank GOD).
