@Ray-I hope so too. At least yours is what I see as a niche market. Everybody goes grocery shopping but not everyone has a deep love of books or understands the importance of how books can affect a kid's life. Keep it up.

@IYam- the reason Ron Paul isn't taken seriously has nothing to do with, integrity, conviction, or authenticity. It has to do with lack of vision and stunted "Reach". His main supporters seem to be people who paint their cars with a…

Seems to me it's mostly about critical thinking. No one party has all of the answers. I certainly agree with Philip when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. I think we should all be able and obligated to defend ourselves and others the SHTF. I also…

Just an FYI- There are iPhone apps for both the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Look under Clint Bagwell consulting in iTunes. I've found the constitution app to be handy when reading various political news stories…

A bigger question would be who is electable? Bachmann and Romney seem to be making the most noise right now but I don't know if either are electable. Gingrich, Santorum, Pawlenty, and Paul are essentially jokes. The reality is that…

Great video, thanks for putting it up.

Can you imagine the ferocity that two dozen highly motivated, well armed Navy SEAL's can bring to bear? The bad guy's must've been cr###ing their shorts big time :D

I was waiting to see which one of branches of Spec Ops took him out. Good job Seal Team Six. Now let's keep the momentum going and rid the planet of the rest of these dirt bags.

Hi Michael, my daughter Holly is an AB(E)/Greenshirt on the Lincoln. Sounds like it was good deployment for everyone. Hi there to Frank as well, Holly was a Grad-n-Go herself, we had less than 5 minutes after PIR with her before they tossed her on…

That's the shot, thanks Paul. Now if her big brothers would just take clue from her ;D

Yowza! Holly was on that team. They have a group pic on their Facebook photo page. She's at the back on the left. Man, I couldn't be more proud of her.
Kirk Brooks commented on Navydads co-admin (Terry)'s group 'USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72)'
The funny thing was that we weren't sure at first since she's changed so much over the last year. I finally decided it was her and then she emailed me to let me know. she's going to send us a hard copy of the newsletter also.

Chief West said… - Kirk,
I am sorry to hear about the mess you found yourself and your son in. I certainly don't understand Big Navy's mentality all the time. I can tell you that should your son desire to come in after getting his Associates Degree and his medical is all cleared that you would have a fair chance (all things being as they are currently with the state of recruiting). Have you looked at the Baccalaurate Completion Degree Program (BDCP) for him, since he is attending college? This program would allow him to complete his college education and then joining the Navy as an officer - and the Navy pays for the schooling. Just a thought.

- Kirk,
I don't want to step on something I have no knowledge of, and not certain that you are at liberty to express what waivers you are inquiring about, I have a myriad of logical answers for you, which I would have to spend paragraphs explaining them because of the language or terminology. If you want specifics, (if you are inclined to do so), write me back with exactly what your son's waiver request(s) are/were.

NC1 Sean Erickson said… - Hi Kirk, sorry its taken so long for me to reply but its been real busy in recruiting. As for your question, it is a dificult one to ansure because I have some other questions for you. Its sounds like the recruiter and your son has done everything correctly, but some times it is out of our hands when it comes to medical. If you could let me know what his grades where and who disqualified him was it MEPS medical or was a waiver sent out to the Navy med dept. In 10 yrs of recruiting I have never seen the Navy come to the point were they can pick and choose who gets in the navy.

Bob Willis said… - Kirk, Thanks for the response. It has helped me alot. Today is day #3 and I am already feeling better. My wife and I spoke with him on the phone a short time yesterday prior to his flying out of Little Rock enroute to Chicago. That was 24 hours ago and we never did get the 20 second "I am here" call but I know he is well. What you said about not being the fixer of everything for him really struck home. I am keeping in mind that this is the best thing he could have done for his career. The economy is bad and I would have not liked to see him be a restaurant host for the next five years instead of a sailor. Thanks for you help. Bob

- Hi Kirk. My son Blain left for boot camp today. I am very proud of him joining the Navy as he has focus now that I have never seen before. BUT, it was not easy letting go. He is 20 yoa and needs this and that I am very thankful for. Does the , for lack of a better term, sense of loss go away quickly? I feel the pride in my son as you express for your daughter and I am ready for that to be my #1 emotion. Thanks, Bob
