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.

My youngest daughter has just turned 21, been in the Army for 3 years. Couple pics of her, VP Mike Pence thanking her for her service, and a pic from her last desert training.

My son is stationed at Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA. He works on C130s. Friend of mine retired 2 years ago from the army as a helicopter crew chief and maintenance instructor. He has more contractor offers than he can shake a stick at. He is single and has been back to Afghanistan twice as a civilian contractor with a pile of money in his pocket when he comes home. When he gets home he spends a couple weeks with his Mom then jumps on his bike and goes where the wind takes him for a while. While he was out of the country in his downtime he worked on fixed wing training and now is getting fixed wing civilian offers here back in the states.

To all of you who have children serving their nation, know this and never forget.
The apple never falls far from the tree. Thank you.

Thanks all, for your and children's service.
Our oldest just completed 5 years in USMC as a DM in FAST. He was on the long gun playing over watch all over the globe. He is now using his GI Bill up at Boise State.
Second son is Army. Crew Chief on UH60 Blackhawk. They just went silent (went to work in an undisclosed location.)
My observations have been that deployments are usually toughest on Mom.
I come from a long line of military service. Dad was USAF FAC pilot, Grandpa, Navy WWII, Great grandfather Army WWI, etc.....
I signed the line with USMC, but failed my physical at MEPS, due to a spinal fracture that didn't heal correctly. Still not over that!

My son is USAF and starts SERE training Monday and then spending a few months of additional training in Altus, OK before he ends up at his station, Elmendorf, Alaska. He loves it and we are extremely proud of him. I guess I shouldn't be shocked that there are as many kids from this place serving, it is good to see.

My middle son is in the Air Force and currently at Shepard in Wichita Falls, TX Great news is he will be coming home for visit next week. On his way toward flying C 17s He came to me when he was 10 and told me he wanted to fly planes. He earned his private pilot’s in high school. Extremely proud of him.
