My brother came down from NY and came with me to visit. He was approved for a special visit but when we got there the paper work was no where to be found. The sargent on duty is a very nice woman and called the captian to see if anything could be done. He was nasty but because he saw that my brothers name was on the computer he knew the paper work was just sitting on someones desk. He said 1 time, one hour. I tried to talk to him and get more time, my brother interupted me and just thanked him for the opportunity to see his brother in-law. Then the captain said, hey it's the 4th of July make it 2 hours. Well about an hour later the captain came over to us and asked how the visit was. My brother said he was just trying to see if we would ask for more time, we didn't and thanked him again. The sargent who is really nice, also likes my guy and let the visit go for 3 hours. We were sitting outside and she sent a co (that is new) to come get us. Well she walked over and clapped her hands three times really loud, and said times up. We all got up immediately but my brother, who can be sarcastic, turned around and said do you need to clap too? So she sucked her teeth, got all red in the face and couldn't think of anything to say. Then my brother said to My guy (so the co could hear) I didn't know I was a dog, I mean I clap at my when I want her to obey. The co, who is obviously not the sharpest knife in the draw felt really stupid and just went inside. It was really funny! Proved to me the power trip thing can be nipped in the bud real quick,lol

LOL--glad that she got put in her place. Some that I know need it too.

I hate to say this but some of these CO's remind me of teachers. LOL
Snappy and bossy.

P/S I'm a teacher so no offense.

Good for your brother!! :) (Can he come visit JD with me sometime.... I could use a bit of his sarcasm with the toe ring B*&$#......) :D Kidding!! CO's do need to be called on the disrespect they treat people with though.....

good for your brother, bella! i wish i had the guts to stand up to people like that! glad it all worked out for you guys! :)

Good for him!You do know that not every body can be a CO,very few make it! You are automatically rejected at the start if you know who both your parents are.Also, if you can spell your own name or know what sex you are they wont even allow you to apply.Steve&kids

Steve.... LOL.... I didn't know you had that much sarcasm in ya!! :) I love it!!! That means you are feeling better about life....
P.S..... CO's who may be reading... we know there are a few good ones of ya out there..... but if you are one of the good apples, you know as well as we do there are some rotten ones! :D

LMAO!!! You also cannot know how to read. One CO who works in the mess hall (kitchen) with him wrote on a food order...torter seuse, she meant tarter sauce for fish sticks...

LOL Bella. It's good they let you guys through. And that is a big coincidence with the dog's name. LOL

My brother named the dog that on purpose,lol. His friend owns another dog from the same litter and her name is Ms.Demeanor cute huh? They are pitbulls so I guess the mane fits. My dogs name is Bud. My brother named him to for smoke a bud, drink a bud...whatever,lol

lol glad to see she got shot down like that. Good for your bro...
