My eldest leaves for basic on Tuesday
Hi family,
Just wanted to put this out there that my eldest son Brandon, leaves the MEPS station on Tuesday for basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO aka "Ft. Lost in the woods". After 10 weeks of basic, he'll go off to Ft. Huachuca, Az for AIT where he will train to be a 35F, Military Intelligence Personnel. Isn't military intelligence an oxymoron? All jokes aside, I'm kinda glad that he didn't pick combat arms like I was and that I hope he does his 4 yrs stateside. His plan is to do his 4 yrs and then return to college. We had a long talk tonight about keeping his nose clean, to do the right thing - but not be a kiss ass either and above all else, never be the one responsible for getting the entire platoon in trouble. I also challenged him that once he gets out of AIT, to make rank faster than I did. I made E-5 in less than 4 yrs and E-6 in less than 6 yrs. I hope he does it or at least comes close. His mama and I ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers, especially now that a fairy is charge of the Army. Don't get me started on that. Thank you and God Bless.

Prayer sent. Best wishes for a productive military experience. As a former Bootstrapper, I would advise your son, that after he settles in at his first PCS to get intimately familiar with the base education office. Also, take any military courses offered; as most carry college credit now. As an active duty service member, he can also CLEP for free.
Obama seems to like infusing the military management (I do not say "leadership") with homosexuals. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force is also cheerful. Next thing they will be putting bidets in the latrines. (But, probably only for E7's and above.)
