He's at Ft. Hood Killeen at the moment. He was in NC a couple of weeks ago doing some training and broke his leg. Needed help moving so drove about 3 hours with truck and trailer to help. Good kid with his head on straight. Combat medic with a tanker unit. I'm a very lucky man to have such a good kid and I will drop anything I'm doing anytime at all to help him. Don't know where he's going next. Where are your over grown rug rats in the military?

I'll be traveling to my son's retirement and change of command ceremony in March. Army NG, 23 years IIRC.
He's looking forward to having more free time to shoot.

Youngest son is a Captain in the medical support field. He is an environmental health science engineer. recently finished a tour in Afghanistan and is currently stationed in MD.
Daughter is married to an MI officer just finishing up his branch detail gig in a Cavalry unit as a Scout Platoon Leader. Got his Captain bars pinned on today and getting ready to move from Colorado to Arizona for his Captains Career Course. Not sure where he is going next.

![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/121857.jpg) My boy was mentioned by Tikkanut earlier in this thread. He sent me this picture today of a low level flight in the Big Bend country of Texas. He's almost finished with SUPT (Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training) at Laughlin AFB, TX. "Drop Night" is tomorrow - he finds out what plane he will fly and what base he will go to for his first assignment after training. I live 4 miles from Travis AFB, CA. He picked C-5M, Travis AFB as his first choice on his Dream Sheet. Fingers Crossed!

Every now and then you come across threads like this that just makes you feel good.
3 out of my pack of dogs, 2 in the Mideast and 1 spreading joy in Africa. Multiple tours for all 3.
Nephew just yesterday got turned down by the USMC. Said something wrong in the interview and was told thanks but no thanks. Hard to figure,,,that one.
