Congrats RC! Thank again to Noah, you and all that raised a young man wanting to stand and fight for all the good in this country! It is truly and deeply appreciated!
Worry is what Fathers and Grandfathers do, when it come to sons and grandsons and all children. He will do well !! And let him know he has another that is proud of him.
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
Hey everyone my son just text me and said they are packing up and getting ready to head out this evening to the air port. His flight is not till 730 in the morning so he will have some lay over, but we and he are excited! He is so ready to show off his uniform and everything he has done!! And tell us all the stories he has! That should be fun!! Can't wait to see him I will try and get a pic of him and myself when he gets in and I will post it!
One proud Dad!!!

Hey Everyone just thought I would give a quick update on my son. This last weekend he graduated from Army Basic Training in Fort Sill, OK. Wow it just seems like he went. We got to hang out with him for a while on Thursday and then Friday after graduation ceremonies. I am both very proud of him and of course somewhat scared at the same time knowing my son is NOT under my control anymore.... He is now in M.O. at Fort Leonard Wood for his AIT school. He said it's not much better there then at basic. LOL! But a little better he said so he'll take it! Here he is in this pic with his "Battle Buddy" from basic training. Noah is on the right. His buddy David and him became real good friends and plan to stay in touch. David is from Tyler Texas and had a hard time passing the running part of the PT testing but as battle buddies do Noah pushed him and finally got him under the right time he needed. They are both very HAPPY to be leaving Fort Sill!!!

My son told me a story that I did not know? I told him I thought it was kinda funny how your coat on your uniform is so much darker then your pants? Why 2 colors?
He said he was told that they are that way because back in the olden days a soldier would get hot riding on his horse and take his jacket off put it on the horse and sit on it. So in turn his jacket was not subject to the hot sun like his pants. Hence over time his pants would fade and the jacket would still look like new from sitting on it. I thought that was a cool story. I do not know if that is the absolute truth but that is what he told me and I have no proof otherwise. Can anyone out there confirm that?

Thanks guys when I was in it didn't seem that big of a deal, but now that my kid is in and could get deployed at any time I lose a little sleep over that! He hopes to come back after AIT and get into college in the 4 year ROTC program and become an officer! Lets hope he can stay focused and get it done! He can do it if he wants to I told him it's up to him!
