Thanks Vin. I'll pass that along. I'm pretty proud of him.

Congrats Scott.

Congrats Scott and congrats to your son, and thank him for his service for me.

RobR1205 · 06-10-2013, 04:50 PM

Congrats! He'll do great!

cjhalbrooks · 06-10-2013, 05:28 PM

That is awesome. He will be fine stay calm dad.

maninblack · 06-10-2013, 05:48 PM

That's great. Congrats.

Congrats! That's great news (I just read through this right now)

National Guard is great and that's a good program to be in. Maybe not the most happening locations (Ft. Sill area is kind of a dump) but it'll be an exciting career with post military employment opportunities.

All the best to him and you.

Congrats go your son, this thread gave me flashbacks to Ft. Benning, some pretty funny ones actually. It depends on how your put together, mentally that is, but basic was actually pretty fun to me. You really can't go wrong with the Nasty Girls, I was NG out of basic, won a free trip to the middle east and after that ended up going RA for the last couple of years.

I can tell you first hand it will help him grow up in many many ways, I went in at 18 about a year after I lost my mom, I really didn't have much direction in life so I decided the military would help and it honestly did. I'm old now (haha) I live a good life, I know what responsibility is, how to take care of myself, how to be a good person, I hope he gets everything out of it he can.

Again congrats to you both!

8 years is a normal enlistment for reserve. I am sure that this will be great. Tell him thank you.
