He passed selection!
My son called today and told me that he was one of 100 18xers to pass Selections. There were 116 of them who went from SOPC. Just wanted to share my good news!  He will get his MOS and language/group tomorrow.

Congratulations. You obviously did a fine job raising him.

Excellent. SOPC has done a great job getting those guys ready for SFAS.
Last time I checked 100 out of 116 is over 86%!
