Don't worry, KC.  He's only got less than 2 years to serve under the Jackass in Chief.  After that, he'll be serving under someone worthy of being his "boss."

Man, I hope you're right!  I know our family does its part.

Congrats KC!  They grow up so quick!

Congratulations to your son for serving his country :yahoo: AND picking the right branch of the service to do it in.  :-)

Our country can always use good men in the military,no matter what their job is. Its just to bad he may never get to go to Air Assault School or Benning but there are many other things open to him.

Posting as a very proud parent.  I'm not too fond of his soon to be "New Boss" but I couldn't be more proud of my son.

Today my son enlisted in the U.S. Army.  He will be shipping out October 3rd bound for Ft. Lostinthewoods, Missouri.

His mom is going to be a basket case come October but she'll get over it.  His sister is going to be lost.  They are 16 months apart in age and she has never been to school without her big brother.  They have been very close their entire lives so this could get interesting. 

I think I'm going to have to leave the house and say my goodbyes to my son down the road from the house when he leaves because I won't be able to be around his mom and sister.

Anyway, just wanted to share!

 :gunny:
Hooah!

I can't wait to hear his stories.

No...YOU ask US anything... my position is NOT to question you or your son, but to be questioned by your son...

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Thank all of you very much.  He's got to read some of the thread.  It's great to have the support of all of you!  I'm so glad we're not liberals ... I would have had to slink off in shame.
