Goodbye My Sweetheart, Hello Vietnam

One of my dads favorite movies of all time was “Full Metal Jacket.” He only liked the first part and when we were old enough for all the carnage, we would often watch it with him. One of the most memorable parts of the movie is in the beginning when the soldiers are getting ready to go to boot camp. They’re hauled into the barber and all their hair is shaved off. It’s done to the tune of a very memorable song in which this post is titled. How fitting for a night of shaving boys heads – Enjoy!

Look at this stinker...
My little trouble maker...
Look at this hair...what a mess!
His mop has been worse...
But he was complaining about it so we figured we better chop it off too...
Tommy started it all...he was whining about how long his hair was tonight...
So I whipped out the clippers!
Will was not interested at first...
Then he changed his mind...
His hair is so soft, it feels like silk. Crazy.
All done!!
No more shaggy dog!! I can finally see those gorgeous eyes...
What did my mom do with my hair!?
Trying to get the hair he put in his mouth (of course) out
Henry's turn...
NOT happy...he pretty much ruined it here
You would have thought we were torturing him with his shrill screams and cries for help. Sigh.
Oh Henry.
And of course, Tommy. I like the shaved look. =)
