    I hope the swimming videos aren't getting on anyone's nerves. i know this isn't really a forum for swimming...


    Lugnut,

    How cool is that. Glad your daughter changed her mind. It may be something that changed her life. She'll have these memories forever. You're in a wonderful part of the world for snorkeling and diving. The waterscape reminds me of Okuma on the northern end of Okinawa. What a beautiful place that was. I never made it to Guam, but my Dad was stationed there many years ago and always spoke well of it. He was another Jarhead.

    All the best and thanks for your service.

    God Bless !

    Brings back wonderful memories. I'm retired Air Force; lived on the island of Guam for 4 years. I took up scuba diving and snorkeling and was in the water 4-5 days a week. Loved it and miss it!

    Thanks for sharing

    As a parent, having your kids try something new ... riding a bike for the first time, diving, completing their first backpacking trip, cleaning the gutters, mowing the yard ... oops some of those just slipped in ... just makes you proud.

    Thanks for sharing your afternoon.

    Great vid Lugnut. I could see her excitement through the mask. It's always a joy to see our kids venture into a new world. You'll have to put a tether on her before long.
