My high school buddy, a former 82nd paratrooper, is sending his oldest soon off to Marine Corps boot camp today, the best Father's Day gift ever!

After boot camp and MCT, his son is going to DLI and going the 2600 route (SIGINT Marine). We graduated from a small town so this is a pretty big deal: to have two SIGINTers from the same place but a generation apart.

Patriotism is alive and well in Eastern Oklahoma!
