I won't show him that, or tell him that as it's his journey and I certainly don't want to mess that up for him. He's joining the US Army, MOS 91 Papa and boot camp is in South Carolina.
I know it's tough when one leaves the nest anyway, but going into the military, brings extra special angst. Remind him that the oath he takes, means that he will defend,not only the country, but the Constitution. Maybe give him a copy of it, so that he understands, that enemies may come in form of a Commander in Chief.
Thank you.
I am not religious but keep a good place in my thoughts for all those that step up.
