BTW what is his MOS?
Well, like his father.. he qualified for anything yet volunteered to go into the 11B stuff. I tried to get him to get some training in something else and then go to combat arms, but of course, he's too much like me and has been wanting to do this from the time he was a pup. I am VERY proud of him. He is my hero for knowing about what was coming and doing it anyway.
I went to Benning for his graduation and that was pretty weird, It seemed like such a short time ago, I was there. It was really special seeing my kid "turn blue" and then graduate into the club. I got to put the blue cord on his shoulder myself.
He is planning on going to Ranger school when he gets back from Iraq.. he's already passed pre-Ranger. Dang! I've hijacked my own thread!
