The fine young man on the right served six years as a enlisted man then went to OCS and became a Surface Warfare Officer. At this time he is in Norfolk Va waiting for his assigned ship to get back to port. Another tin can sailor in the family. Our family has a long line of Navy and Marine service but he is the first officer. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hGGsTdCG/matth.jpg)

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? Ft Carson and Ft Bragg. Got grand dog Brady here in Tn right now. Daughter at Carson is always playing drop off with him for 3 to 6 month periods on us. Bout ready to tell her no more, he is grammy and grampy,s dog now.

I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Saw my Son last Saturday here at the house.
He is as of the end of February retired from the U.S.Navy.
To say he is happy is an understatement.
Done his for 22 1/2 years and they cut him off at the knees. WTH?

When he was enlisted he was on a old FF. He's going to a new CG. I'm looking forward to going back to Norfolk and seeing that new CG.

My son went Army National Guard and is a UH60 Crew Chief. He's back in college at the moment and contemplating dropping his package to go fly helos for the Army. He's in college to be a pilot, but wants to fly yesterday. I guess he's going to MS for his two weeks and then possibly door gunner training this summer. Since his last drill, that's all he's talked about mostly. Except for being mad the Guard messed up his GI Bill, but hopefully that's fixed now. Guard or AD, I'm proud of him either way. I don't see my youngest joining the military, but I'm proud of him as well.
