Whelp he swore in at 1000 today in Dallas, it wasn't streamed but was posted. I forwarded all well wishes and thanks to him. He and I want to thank all of you for those along with the words of wisdom.

I also want to thank all of you who have served before him along with those that may be serving with him.

I'm planning on going if they're still doing it due to Rona. We'll see, but if it is a go, Im not going to miss it.

He knows.

He's so worried about getting smoked. He didn't cut his hair before going because his recruiter told him not to, "you will get smoked for doing that". My son's a story teller so I don't know how much truth is behind that, but I told him not to worry about it because he's gonna get smoked regardless.

At some point he'll swear in today at Dallas MEPS unfortunately because of the Rona we can't attend but video should eventually be posted on FB, of all platforms.

Haha he knows, he was brought up right. His initial reasoning for joining the military was to play with all the toys, I had to quickly explain that that's not how it works, it's not unlimited range time whenever you wish. But he will be getting to play with some of the biggest baddest guns in the arsenal so he's got that going for him, pending his follow through of course.

Initially I was proud and excited for him, I still am, however tomorrow we're having a little shindig for him as he heads out later this month and due to recent events I have to admit that fear has definitely set in. 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.
