You've got good reason to be proud. Hope she stays safe, and tell her, "thanks".

Your daughter ROCKS! Thank you so much for your family's sacrifice.

She's already asked for factory magazines for her M9 (I just got 5 more mags and some recoil springs for her). ...and she is wearing the nomex gloves I sent her. Oh yea, Tinkerbell with a machinegun. She shoots good with my Beretta 92 and CX4. I guess she gets them when she gets back. Before she left, I took her to the range and we fired over 700 rounds of 9mm (mostly), 45ACP, and 5.56mm. Had her shoot at paper plates at different ranges (out to 60 yards). Put a hurt'n on'em. Got an Insight 552 for her when she wants it for her M4.
Daddy's little girl! (Her Mom is gonna freak for sure!) Yes, proud. |

Your daughter, you, and your whole family are GREAT Americans! Thanks to all of you for your sacrifices for our country.

Tinkerbell Rocks!
Thank you and your family for you sacrifice. Bob |

The RoPers are really chauvinistic when it comes to women, they regard them as property and a lower form of life. But when you're looking down the barrel of a M16, your opinions change very quickly. |

|
Has your daughter shot down many X-wings? That helmet is all kinds of cool and so is your daughter for serving.
|
|
Couldn't have said it better. Send your daughter my family's thanks and appreciation for all she does for us. |
|

The Emperor will stop by to personally congratulate your daughter's TIE fighter squadron. Rebel activity has been effectively suppressed in their sector.

|
So what up with an Army unit attached to MAG-16? Are the Marines off learning about Ospreys? Normally they would be flying CH-46s.

Thank your daughter for her sacrifice. |

My very first thought as well. |
|
|
I got rid of my M9 about a year ago but I think I have some mags laying around if she is interested.
|
|
Wow, you must be one proud papa!
Is the crewchief always a part of the flightcrew on a blackhawk? |
|
BIG +1 !!! Blackops_1. |
|

must be nice for her to have the proper equipment to do her job (M9 and M4). We don't get any M4s even for people who need them
Thank her for serving. We need people like her over here. |
|
Be proud of her,we are. Tell her thanks for me, she has done more for all of us than we could ever do for her.
|
|
Please thank her for her service. Thanks to all the flight crews that support us in our missions!

i've got a bunch of friends in that unit. they're in a busy AO. i should know, i just came from there. she should be pretty safe though since she's at Chow Asad.

Congratulations...my son is doing his 2nd tour in the sandbox and his little sister just joined the Navy..
|

Actually, she's was born in Frankfurt, Germany but she loves the Virginia area. She spent her first hitch in the Navy on the USS Turman as an AE, so technically this is her second trip to Iraq. This is her first on the ground however. She loves helicopters and wants to fly one day. |

Thanks. But I would be worried about giving out personal info as there are terrorists over here too that could target family members.
|
|
Tell her thanks from everyone here.
I would be proud as hell if she was mine |
|
Pretty slick set-up. Kudos to your daughter. Matt |

I showed this thread to my Brother In Law (because he was on the Truman) and he said he was indeed stationed with your daughter, that he knows her, knew she joined the Army and that he wishes her well and wants her to stay safe over there. |

Funny, the different stuff that crew members put on their helmets. I like you daughters fairy... I've got the words "Eat Me" on mine. Semper Fi Dad... ~Dg84 |

Tell your daughter thanks for her service,and hope it's real soon that you get to meet at the hanger when she comes marching home again!

Dad and I met the Truman when they came back a couple of years ago. Dad and I got the tour of the ship (4 hours) worth before they shipped out too. Dad was piped aboard and they let me go too (SFC). Both of us retired Army. Dad is a retired O6 so he got "the treatment". The Truman is quite a hard piece of equipment. I mean hard. For those that have never been aboard such a craft, take the tour. You will not regret the experience. I sent my daughter's picture to the CMC on the Truman. Everyone on board was nice even when putting up with ORF (old retired farts). |
