Has he already said no and you're trying to change his mind or are you anticipating a dispute?
This is one of those things where he's either understanding or he's not. Having your family along should be a big plus in his book. Edit: You might try leaving a relative as collateral. -------------

Right, but a family vacation isn't the only way to spend time with someone. You might as well just spend as much time with her as you can. Forget the vacation, spend time in your town together. Your girlfriend isn't the only person you're leaving, you should have friends in town too. Besides, most girls hate the military lifestyle, and having to wonder constantly about the fate of their boyfriend.

but, he already said no. and well what he doesnt know, nor was he going to be told was that my dad was taking me, and my older brother who is 29 is coming along. we were gona go to our place in west palm beach, older brother and girlfriend were gona drive us to orlando, dad was gona put us in two hotel rooms, he wants to golf in west palm, and the four of us were gona go to disney for two nights, back to west palm, go to beach, then go back home, then kris gets activated two days after he gets back home. kris isnt dating said girl because he knows its stupid to start dating when activation is right around the corner so we were going as "friends". but her dad still said no which baffles me. besides, disney is the greatest place in earth, i love disney world. and she does to sooo it was gona be an awesome trip. |

Stage 5, at least... For every member of my family, it was age 18 and the rest of lifes choices were up to us. I suppose my parents saw it as an oportunity to grade themselves on their work of raising us children. You know, see how well they did by how well we do. Pretty soon she'll be 21 and can do everything accept rent a car, yet she can't make a vacation decision without the say-so of the parents still? I see that as twisted, though I am not a father. To those that are fathers and disagree with me, all I have to say is you have to let them go sometime and the longer you hang on after they turn 18 the more they are likely to fail on their own. Just look at every girl I went to high school with who just sat in the same room she lost her virginity in waiting to get out of the house through marriage. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

If you hate the fact that I bring it up, then quit commenting on it. People are allowed to speak of their experience, are they not? Because if not, get rid of the chevron in your avatar. If not, then Bri can no longer mention that he is being deployed. GI JOES SON can no longer talk about being in the ROTC. Hell, just get rid of T&O once and for all, because that's really all it is... experiences. -------------

*sigh*
So am I elitist if in class, I know an answer that only a handful of people know? Again, it may be how you percieved it, but that doesn't mean that's how it was meant. No, dig up those quotes, and prove them. No "USAF" fake quote bull**edited**. If you're going to say something, back it up. You don't know what kind of experience I do or do not have, so don't try to comment on that. For all you know, I could have been in ROTC for all my highschool career where I got this knowledge from. You don't have to graduate boot camp to know military topics. Did you spend time in MRP? How about RSP? My guess is no, so does that mean you can't comment on what goes on in those? EDIT: Red also never comments on military threads in general. I do, which automatically opens myself to the "LOL" jokes, even if I wasn't the one that brought it up. If asked how much an M-16 weighs, and I answer, a "lawl2weeks" joke is sure to follow, WITHOUT me mentioning being in in the first place. -------------

You said you don't need to graduate boot in order to know military terms. But you first commented that this forum wouldn't know what MCMAP is without google. Well, it's a safe bet that the majority of the forum didn't graduate boot, so by your second set of logic they might very well know what MCMAP is. Time to stop and think that maybe people actually have family and friends that serve/have served. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

Marine Corps Martial Arts Program basically Marine Karate or something like that. Its alright. Nothing special. As for the Cruise. Yeah guys, its an Odyssey Cruise, we get there at 6pm all dressed up. I am waiting to be told what to wear. then at 7pm, the ship departs boston the dock and drives around boston harbor and leaves and goes like a mile out to sea, drives around for three hours, and by 10pm we are docked leaving the ship after we ate our dinner and danced or whatever. So its not a normal cruise, therefore, I have no idea how to get her booze. they could verywell ask her for her ID, and I could be like, did you bring your ID? no, god damnit. well she is older than me by two days. i doubt that would work but who knows. |

Linus, there are several reasons I don't get the amount of flak you do: I took a reaming from Badsmitty for my pre-bootcamp elitist attitude, then too his advice to sit on the couch and eat a twinky. I don't bother getting defensive about it and finally: Most people didn't already hate me before I enlisted If the forum has a selective memory for my occasional participation in military threads, it's because I admit I'm not much of a badass. I'll participate in shooting threads because I am somewhat of a gun-nut, and have been shooting since I was eight. I hope you're not that bad IRL. A buddy of mine continued wearing USMC sweatshirts and stuff after he got dropped, the vets in one of our classes hated him. He's since developed a sense of humility that probably has a lot to do with having one of his highschool team mates killed in Iraq and leave a wife and child behind. I made the mistake of wearing a skivvy shirt to a party once and took a lot of flak for it by a guy in the navy and almost got my clock cleaned for it. My only advice to you is to drop all semblance of an attitude, even if it just looks like attitude to drunk people. I'll admit that having cellulitus on my nuts, mono, and pneumonia for a month took a hell of a toll on me personally, but in retrospect there have been plenty of people in worse shape that have made it, the rest of my excuses don't mean a thing. While I do think normal civility would have dictated that the forum not crap on you so hard early on, you've really only perpetuated it. "lol 2weeks" has become just like "FEED IT TO MAH SNAKES" and "ZOMG METAL-FACE" just roll with it. Just do what I do when I get it IRL, shake it off, or: 1. Have a beer 2. Have several more 3. Take a nap 4. ???? 5. profit Just don't total your car and get a DUI and life wont suck, and if it does just remember that what's misery to you is entertainment to the rest of society and that you contribute comic relief if nothing else. |

Ok, sorry to bring back a waining thread, but I have been away for a few days. Kris, I did make my comments prior to knowing the girls age. While I still feel you should respect her fathers wishes, I didn't realize she was 20 years old. She should be able to make her own decisions more or less unless of course if you are asking daddy to foot the bill. Then, ahem, he is completely in the right to say no and than it is her choice if she has the cash and wants to burn the bridge. However, he does need to learn to let go at some point. Also, if she would miss any classes due to the trip, it should be considered as well. And while on the subject of your intentions, I can promise you that no matter what you tell him, he thinks you are out to deflower his princess. Trust me on this one. My oldest is only nine and I have already patented the phrase "move it along she has nothing for ya sport". With that said, good luck and thank you for supporting your country.
