For graduation, my parents gave me a set of luggage and asked when I'd be using them. Three weeks later I joined the Air Force. The luggage sure came in handy.

When I graduated highschool, my dad told me I had 2 weeks to either find a job and start paying rent or register for college. I spent 3 years in the navy.........

I graduated last year. Not only did I graduate from high school, but I graduated from community college at the same time. (I'm a prodigy) And you know what I got?! 2 cows!!! Oh, and if you can, keep both trucks!

Don't remember any special gifts for graduation. I DO REMEMBER meeting my Drill Instructors at Parris Island four days later.

Enjoy the trucks

Ermey was my neighbors DI- He made me change the channel when that show came on! I was "given" a Toyota pickup for my HS and college graduation present, but when I left post- grad school (because the stupid thing broke down), my mother asked for it back! Gotta love it-

In some places, 2 cows are worth more than a truck, but not many.
