Recieved his Tab!
It is official! My son has finished his training, and recieved his new orders! He passed through all the phases, and recieved his Green Beret, SF tab and his Yarborough knife this past week. I am SO proud of him! I just wish I had been able to be there. There was not a graduation ceremony for some reason...It is too bad, for the family (his grandpas' were really looking forward to it, as I was). But the best news, (got the call this morning for my birthday) he is heading home Monday, driving with all his belongings. I can't wait to see him!!!

Congrats
Now that the schooling is over the real work begins for him.
Sometimes its easier to earn it than it is to wear it.
Congrats to the whole clan, he's a man to be proud of.

I second what Pete said, "Now the work (and schooling) begins".

If he is bound for "The Professionals", he can pratice the title.
Ditto the other QPs as now comes the hard part.

Congratulations.
