Skid USAF Update: Got a call on Sat.
Our son called Sat afternoon. He sounded great. Very upbeat and energetic. He has received and enjoyed the letters that his mom and I as well as my parents wrote him.
Apparently DIs are very accomplished at getting in peoples faces and yelling. As my son said "Yes dad, they are much better at it than you are.". :?
He has been "drafted" to be in the Basic Training band though he does not seem too happy about that part of his basic experience.
He only had 5mins and he did most of the talking.
Lookin' good so far.
Best regards,

YAY!!! When there's good,
YAY!!! When there's good, traditional parenting involved, there's no end of what type of achievements a child can reach!!!
Good for SS!! And good for you and your lovely wife!!
No USAF blood in the Rags
No USAF blood in the Rags clan until now. My dad is a Marine and my SS's two uncles (my BILs) are Army vets as are a flock of my wife's cousins.
Everyone is proud of him regardless of which branch he chose.
We all think this will be a great experience for him.
It better be, he signed up for 6.

Rags, it sounds like he's
Rags, it sounds like he's doing great! I'm so happy for your family. When my daughter went in, I was really scared. The girl never met a curfew she liked... But, it was amazing! She did great and was very proud of her accomplishments. As was I. I agree that you and wifey should go to graduation if you can. I did and it was wonderful seeing my daughter as part of the honor guard.
Oh, we ARE going to
Oh, we ARE going to graduation.
We already have BMT graduation on our vacation calendars at work. We will be there as will my mom and dad.
My wife's parents may come .... but we will have to foot that bill.
No interest from the SpermClan primarily because the kid has not told them he is even in the USAF. That part is a mixed bag for his mom and I. We are obviously gloating and grinning }:) a bit because our son knows who his true family is and also sad because even though our son is growing and maturing we know that the situation with his SpermClan is upsetting to him.
Hopefully our son will learn to accept his SpermClan for who they are and take whatever limited interface they will give him and focus on enjoying his life.
For damned sure his mom and I will not forgive the toothless SpermIdiots..... at least for a very long time.
