My only son is off to basic training for the Air Force. Adam is his name. He joined the 401st Reserve Airlift Squadron at Joint Base Charleston in SC late in his senior year in High School when he was only 17yo. He managed to get a loadmaster position on the C-17. He graduated high school with a life scholarship to any in state SC school. But he wanted to serve his country and pay his own way through school. He is a scratch golfer. He recently soloed a multi engine airplane. Loves to hunt and fish. He's a fine young man. He gives me hope for the future of this country.
:)
Best of luck to your son.
A real American.
Godspeed Adam.
Where is the USAF on this program?
I am advising young folks AGAINST a military career at this point in time. Mobile brainwashing teams are forcing sailors to undergo, and “pass,” forced transgender-is-normal “training.”
Why not be a USAF pilot instead of a loadmaster?
Sounds like a great kid. My boy graduated basic a few weeks ago and is in Wichita Falls now.
So proud of the few that actually care enough to serve.
Good reason to vote for Trump, rather than not serving at all.
Cool son.
Proud dad.
Best wishes.
Now all we need is a good President

Gotta get the college degree first.
Good luck to your son, God bless him and tell him thank you.
Being enlisted while you get your college degree is a good way to get AF references to get into the pilot program.
C-17 loadmasters sometimes have to deal with foul loads.

Pilot is his long term goal. But he has to complete a 4 year degree. He’s starting off enlisted. When he’s done with training he will revert to part time reserves and attend college full time. GI bill plus SC life scholarship will cover everything.
God Speed young man
You must be very proud and with good reason. Congrats
Adam,
Best of luck to you! You seem like a driven and outstanding young man. People like you give me hope for the future.
Best of luck hero!!!!
Yes, vote for Trump.
But I would not recommend my son join Lenin’s Red Army.
Tell him congratulations! I know you must be proud.
God Speed young man
