Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Saw my boy yesterday.

Got a son in law at Ft Irwin for two years now training NTC duty.

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.

God bless and thanks. Congrats as well!

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.

Beautiful!!!👍😊

Good thread guys. Prayers for our kiddos. Proud of them all. Each and every one!👍

Thanks to all our kids for their service.

My youngest is in Okinawa, USMC and due to be re assigned soon. Hopefully stateside

Kids like those in this thread give me hope!

Good job, one and all!

My son is stationed at Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA. He works on C130s.

All you guys and all your kids Rock!
This is why I love this place.

America!

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.

Proud to say my oldest grandson is a marine and currently is in California.

To all of you with kids serving, thank them all for us and let them know how proud we are of them.

Oldest daughter is a lieutenant in the navy currently on shore tour after her last deployment as a ship's navigator.
