Very cool. I think it is going to be a very effective recruiting tool. Beats the crap out of "Army of One" which always seemed to imply to me that the Army was celebrating individualism or some such drivel. Team players win America's wars. "Strong" team players.

Please keep us all posted on how he's doing when he gets to jihaadi country.

Only if you can provide a video link that isn't embedded in youtube. To take a snapshot you must be able to play the video on your computer.

It also seemed to imply that the Army had a hard time understanding that "army" necessarily implies more than one. :D

Congratulations, jk. I know you're very proud of your boy. My nephew should be rotating back here in a couple of weeks-sounds like your boy may be replacing him.

Can someone tell me why I get this when I go to youtube?? It just started in the past week or so. Sometimes I can hit refresh and it will load correctly.

The Good Lord can and does watch over kids in Iraq, just as he can and does here on a Friday night. Frankly, I pulled many a stunt in my younger days, behind the wheel of car that could have got me killed, than I ever did in the military. All's I'm saying is, sure it's scary, but a lot more kids will die in car accidents right here in the CONUS this year than will get hurt by jihaadi IED's.

I'm proud of JK2 and the man who raised him to do the right thing in his country's time of need.

hey jk is your son in the same MOS as you were? Got to be hard being the parent. I used to hate to see my mom crying.

If you would like I'm sure we could all get together and send him and the boys from his platoons, some of the stuff we loved to get when we were gone.

is there a way to save a youtube video on your harddrive so you can put it on a cd rom? i'd like to get a copy of this to save for JK2's kids one day

yermom

would be easier to get it from TV i think, probably better quality too

one of the TV tuner/video editing guys could probably hook you up

hope he stays safe jk, you've got to be proud

well if i knew when it was going to be on tv, i'd go that route.....apparently some friends have seen it on tv already

here's the funny thing, he got paid $1 for being in the commercial! :)

and yes, quite proud...he's had some rough bumps the last couple of years but he's a good kid

yermom
11/23/2006, 11:54 PM
someone recording stuff has to randomly get it eventually :D

if i notice it, i'll try to get it. you'd at least have the raw version, i'm not much in the editing department, but someone else could at that point

I'll see what I can do. You probably remember my relative giving the Mrs and I a tour of the pentagon last month. He is in charge of the new campaign- Public relations. I bet he can get me a pretty clean copy of it. He showed us that spot and a few others as well before they hit the air last month.

Oh, and I'll be keeping II in my thoughts and prayers as he heads over there.

Will do. Poor guy's permanent duty station is now Ft. Wainwright, so as soon as I figure out when his plane gets in I'm going to hit a commuter flight up there to meet him.
