Congrats Dad,I know it will be a proud moment when you put "your wings" on your son............:D Are your wings sterling silver and the pin on type?.........:confused:
Those were the type I received in 1955............;)

Yes they are the Silver Pin-ons. I captured them back later, until he is not in the "Training/Barracks Mode"

Pinned my Wings on him this morning and he's on the Bus to Ft Bragg as I type!! They departed around 1400.
TR, Peregrino and All!! He'll be there sometime tonight!!
He's got his Cell if you have his number. If not shoot me a PM and I'll forward it.
Martin,
I remember my discussion with Blake at SHOT 2008, during the 10-8 forums dinner. He mentioned the frustration of not being in the military at that time, well that seems to be corrected :D Congrats to the both of you.
PM received, will reply shortly!
I'll be part of the FBNC welcome committee, although I won't be able to see him until Sunday. I'll make sure he gets a good tour of the post so he isn't completely screwed up.
Oh, and I'm planning on smoking the tar out of him.
Congrats B, well done!
Must have been a proud moment for you, AM. :)

Congratulations, I look forward to a simular experience in 5-6 years.
Congratulations to you both. I remember getting my dad's OSS wings in 1965 when I graduated jump school. I couldn't have been prouder. When my brother graduated from OCS and then jump school in 1969, I pinned the wings on him.
