A little something on Xmas morning from the US Navy
Got up this morning, made coffee, and was sitting back at my desk minding my own business when the wife said that RTC Command had uploaded some pictures on facebook of the recruits. 612 pictures to be exact. As I took a sip of coffee, the wife (She who must be obeyed), instructed me to load the site and start analyzing the pics for a glimpse of our son. Six hundred and twelve pictures folks. I was wondering what I did to draw this assignment. But I mustered the will to attack the task at hand (with the wife occasionally asking "have you seen him yet? Well...have you?") and diligently, methodically, started clicking pics. Over, and over. It seems out of 612, 540 was the lucky number.
Yep. Mission accomplished. Hold your applause please.
Yes, on Xmas morning, we got a glimpse of our son in his working uniform. He looks healthy. He looks sane. He looks like a US Navy Man. Can I finish my coffee now? So....
all you boys and girls, if you have been good, then I wouldn't be surprised if you can find a action photo of the newest American Hero in your life on facebook. If you've been really, really good then perhaps you'll find your recruit on like, the first or second photo.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I mean it's about 100Mbytes- emails are limited generally as to size though downloads can be much bigger than uploads. You would have to select them all and then you could try to copy or email once selected

One thing to say now that I've finished looking at all 612 pics, I think I've seen the face of every recruit in Boot camp right now. It's "Find Waldo", Navy Boot Camp edition.
