My youngest son Justin graduates from USAF Basic Training at Lackland AFB this Friday -- with the ceremony being Friday morning. We're heading out tomorrow to be part of it -- then Dallas, Hope and I need to hustle back and drive all night for a race at 8AM Saturday morning.
Justin now heads off to Goodfellow AFB, which is a tech school for his career choice. He can't telling what his MOD is -- as he'd have to kill me. He had to wait 10 months in "Delayed Enlistment" for an opening in tech school.
Anyway -- he turned 21 while in Basic Training -- but became a man the day he reported. My military service was the biggest turning point of my life. I went in shortly after turning 17 -- and grew up fast. My bet is that Justin will get even more out of his military service than I got out of mine.
