Recruit Tyler Update


Recommended Posts

Guys I talked to Tyler this morning from Parris Island, everything is o.k. but they pushed his graduation back a week to 9 Nov with Fox Company, 2nd RTBN (Recruit Training Battallion.) Reason being is junior had an ingrown toe nail they had to cut out, go figure... He sounded fine and in good spirits. Wanted to post the trraining battalion HSOforum so you guys can get a flavor of what my son's going through... Check out the training matrix, it's a trip..

Got our first letter from Tyler in the mail. Things are going great with him and he received our care package, his DI agreed to let him have it but will hold it for now, he's a prck compared to the first one he had. Anyhow he's looking forward to us coming down for graduation and he said not to worry, it's not as bad as he feared. So that's cool..

Got a letter from my son today and he's doing fine. His platoon is doing great and because of that there hoisting the series guideon. smile.gif Shudder the thought he ran into another Browns fan there and they were discussing the Bengal game. Wait till he get's the letter of the Oakland game. blush.gif Any how he's donning his deserts with U.S. Marine on his left chest and his name tape on the right. He says hello to all and he hope the walleyes are snapping. Nov. 9th can't get here soon enough.

Tyler called last night and get this no one was home to take the call but he left a message on the answering machine. Crucible went well and he received his globe and anchor Saturday and is now officially a United States Marine. smile.gif I'll bring the digital and get pictures... Congratulations Tyler!

Were home... Sorry I didn't post earlier but things have been pretty hectic. We got back from South Carolina at 3:30 a.m. this morning and slept as soon as we got home, made a big breakfast for Tyler, unpacked, laundry, etc... Had a party at my Mom's for him this evening and I think it's been too much for Tyler... Rosa just took his temp and it was high so he's going to bed early.. I did 31.5 hours driving in 3 days and I am whooped. We will be attending the Veteran's Day Ceremony in Rome at 10 a.m. tomorrow if Tyler is feeling better and then off to the Browns game. I took a few pictures of Parris Island for you guys to see. Family and ceremony day were fantastic! There wasn't a dry eye and were all very proud of our new Marines especially PFC Tyler Rogers wink.gif

Jay that's funny, wink.gif Tyler tried to sneak his regular glasses on before grad and was busted. blush.gif

School of Infantry us next for Tyler but what's cool is instead of going back in 10 days they gave him an extra 7 days leave wink.gif so he will be hear until the Sunday after Thanksgiving... The next stop for Tyler's training is Camp Geiger, NC (next to Camp Lajeune) for 52 days of training and then more training possible out in California at 13 Palms, that's where they do the Iraq/Aphgan training.

The Veteran Day Ceremony was great this morning in Rome Frank, Don Hanson and Bill Brain were there in attendance with about 200 folks. Tyler got to spend time with his friend Kyle Siefert whom is attending AFROTC at Syracuse Univ. and will be an Air Force officer upon completion.

Here's the two men at Veteran's Park prior to the ceremony..

At halftime at the Browns Backer's today they gave Tyler a standing ovation, that brought a tear to my eye. Your absolutely right Frank I never thought it would effect me this much, but I can see it in him and remember when I was a young Airman. He's so polite and courteous it sickens me. lol grin.gif

I am just happy to share this with you guys, it's nice to have a great group of buddies I can share this with. For you as well I am truely blessed.

He looks mean in that one picture but tell him i'll still kick his a$$...

I bet he can run for days. I friend of mine came home after basic in the marines many years ago and a bunch of us were going somewhere and our vehicle got pelted with snowballs. We'll for fun we decided to chase the kids down. I'll never forget my buddy running after em yelling you better give up, I can run for 3 days straight...

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
