Consider your Son and his skill sets he will have as “Horatius Cocles at the Sublician Bridge” ..... a TACP as stated knows the power to kill they possess and they WILL use it with surgical precision. I’m proud of your family for raising such a man.

Thank you. Stay Safe

"And up spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate:
'To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better, than daring fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his gods?'"

-- Thomas Macaulay, "Lays of Ancient Rome"

From memory, so probably not verbatim.

You mean THAT Horatius?

Thank you for your kind words. I'll forward them to the young Airman.
