Exactly that, our boy is Airborne. Went in at 17, full time Army. He is on the short list for E8 and is located far away from anyone he knows. His only civilian clothes are camo for deer hunting season. I am working with him to explain as a squad and platoon leader in Iraq and Afghanistan he is management material. He knows absolutely nothing but full time green, he grew up in the Army. We are very proud of him. But given he is not even 40 yet, he has a whole nother career ahead of him should he so choose. Sincere thanks
@WV64Signet for the kind support. It is a tough transition for him.
