Don,Our family is in a similar boat. Our oldest grandson is talking about joining the Army in place of college so he can learn a skill and get the GI bill for later. After my time in the Air Force, my son (his dad's) time in the reserves and Brett service in the OKANG very hard to tell him that he should but also very hard to tell him he shouldn't. We have put it to Prayer for guidance on what he should do.

Like my boys, how do you tell a warrior not to be a warrior?And then if you face something like your family did, you have to deal with that...
Don, I would say he would be better off in the US Army than anywhere else. I cannot publicly comment here about what I see and have to deal with on a daily basis but at least once he gets out of basic he might be able to become part of a good team and for the most part control who will be their team mates. Its a challenge some days and I am pretty much left alone on many fronts and I have an extremely good team and even better boss and we can for the most part control what I have to deal with.
Phil best me to it, but yeah PJs or CCT on the Air Force side, I know you would be tempted to disown them, but they’d be able to pull out their time out card and give you time to calm down. ;)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
