My son has stepped into the fire
Guys i haven't posted much lately but this one is worth it.
My son Joe has signed and shipped for the 18x program.
he is at Benning now for basic, Ait , then jump school.
I'm thrilled and nervous, but proud of him. At this point for being a great kid and for taking on the challenge. I told him Soldier 1st, Airborne infantry soldier next, Then god willing with your own strength and courage SF soldier.
One step at a time.
I'll keep ya posted on his progress!

Congrats for him and you.
No mater how it shakes out it looks like you'll be making at least a few trips to Bragg in the next couple of years.

Good luck to your son, and no matter what happens we thank him for his willingness to serve.
Good luck to dad also, I get more nervous when my kids do stuff then ever when it was me!

It's kinda cool when a Special Forces Soldier goes all "Proud Papa" and stuff.
Best of luck to your son.
