I know what you mean. My oldest son is currently in Iraq as a 68W (Combat Medic). My youngest son is taking his induction physical tomorrow. Both Army (as I was - helicopter crew chief ‘66 - ‘67 - you know where I was sent!).
I thought my oldest son was crazy, now I know it! He is the only person I ever heard of that LIKED basic training.
Congratulations to you and your son. Stand proud!
Thanks for your service.
I am very proud of him. I made sure he had all the information available to him so he wouldn’t be going in blind. While no 18 year old really ‘knows’ what they are getting themselves into, he really, really wanted to start out in the infantry.
I don’t really understand that, but at the same time I know that America needs people who want to do that stuff. He is apparently one of those people.
