Would do all over again, right now if I could. Great people, great friends, lifetime of memories and friendships.

Congrats. My 3rd is at Ft. Jackson for BCT in the Army.

By choosing the Air Force he will be fine.

Unless it’s been stated within the first 10 pages the only remedy or advice is to let your husband PIIYB. You won’t even think about your son.

I mean, they call it the chair force for a reason.

No disrespect at all, but it isn’t like we are dogfighting much anymore.


When has the last serious air battle been?

I was 11M for 6 years and ETA'd in September of 1992. Your predecessors did a great job digging holes for our Bradley's.

Don't expect to hear from him much unless that has changed.

We were very surprised at his attention to detail and command at graduation.

His time in the USAF was most beneficial

He had two rotations to Iraq, was stationed in Japan and N Dakota. Spent two years in Qatar as a civilian doing military related works.

Posting from ipad, air “battles” take place a lot more than you think. Damn good thing we’re over prepared as frick for them.

ETA: should have said, because everyone knows that, very few want to meet at the aerial Sonic

My point is that we aren’t facing the same serious casualty numbers in air campaigns like in the past. I think I read somewhere that, statistically, it’s the “safest” branch.
