I never served, so I wasn’t much help on proper dress for him. Today was really just for the upper class men to help out the new kids with getting it right. He was pretty excited though. After last years covid debacle, he’s finally getting to be involved. He’s really hoping that they can do their D-Day trip to France in the next year or so. I’ll definitely be volunteering as a parent chaperone if they need any.

I hope he always remembers the pride he felt the first time he donned the uniform. 👍 �Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth.

I did 29 years in uniform and it was rewarding in many ways but trying in others. Congratulations to you as well for producing such a fine young human. We need more, LOTS MORE, like him.

Have a neighbor that took that route through the Air Force. Last edited by 1minute; 09/15/21. 1Minute

When he was picking up his uniform yesterday they were having a hard time finding a beret that fit him. His instructor, an Army Major, said “Damn son, you have a big [bleep] head!”. Haha! Hopefully he had to do a few pushups today, as they build character!

It aint a bad way of life like many think or like to slam. I would recommend Infantry or Armour. Out dealing death..... But thats just me😁😁😁
