My grandson has followed in the footsteps a 4th generation military family. his GGfather (my father - a 26 year AF veteran of wwii, Korea and View Nam, me - a 20 yesr plus AF veteran with a combat tour in Viet Nam, an uncle (my oldest son who served in the AF for 2 years) and my youngest son (his Dad), who served for awhile in the Navy. He enlisted as a Combat Corpsman in the Navy. After a multitude of schools including jump and dive schools, he will be eventually assigned to either a Seal unit or a Marine Expeditionary unit. Am so proud of him

Our family is also multi generational military, even my wife is military and our boy is still in. I was just the only one dumb enough to go in Marines. As a Marine I like so many others, owe my life to a Navy Corpsman. He was attached to our very small group. Corpsman eat and drink free if I see them to this day. Tell him him there is no higher honor than the path he has chosen. Well done Dad.
