CaleB kIllIan graduates From u.s. marIne Corps Boot Camp the next laugh By truman Jones Caleb Killian, son of William H. and Donna Killian of Fredericktown, graduated from Marine Corps boot camp at MCRD, San Diego, CA on August 12, 2012. Killian graduated from boot camp as a Private First Class and received recognition for qualifying “expert” in marksmanship. Killian was also chosen to be prayer leader for his platoon. During the 13 weeks of boot camp, he was trained in both class and field environments in first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, handto-hand combat, the basics of the M16A4 service rifle and close order drill. He will report to Camp Pendleton, CA for his next phase of training at the School of Infantry. In an alternative universe (the one many of us are dreaming of and working toward), this announcement might say: Caleb Killian, son of Wiliam H. and Donna Killian of Fredericktown, graduated from U.S. Peace and Love Corps boot camp at MCRD, San Diego, CA on August 12, 2012. Killian graduated from boot camp as a Private First Class and received recognition for qualifying expert in compassion. Killian was also chosen to be prayer leader for his platoon. During the 13 weeks of boot camp, he was trained in both class and field environments in first aid, uniform regulations, water preservation and desalinization, astronomy, hand-to-hand massage, the basics of vegetarian cuisine and close order jitterbugging. He will return to Fredericktown, MO, to lead us in drum circles, elaborate games of charade, campfire stories (by turns spooky and hilarious), and will conduct a workshop at Courthouse Square on how to irreversibly transform bayonets into pruning hooks, once and for all. http://madisoncountycrier.net/
Exactly.
Fredericktown is small town USA. I have a distant relative in the school administration. Hope they and the residents hold their own against this harpy.
How about welcoming the “noob”.
We were all new once,or have you forgotten that?
Nice attitude.

I didn’t make an inane post and vanish on my first day.
I didn’t vanish! I was sleeping. :) I used to have an account here but forgot the password, so I’ve been just reading for years, and not posting. (I also find I’m not tough skinned enough to hang with some of the biting comments made to people). But, when I seen/heard of this I knew it would be of interest to some.
(and thanks for the ones who welcomed me and yes, I am being on the up and up in my post.) Steph
Holy crap, what a pretentious snotty bitch. How dare those yokels not learn from her and accept her progressive faith?
