That is a proud moment for not just you Don but for the rest of America who loves this country. May God watch over him, give him a steady hand in battle, and give him good leaders to follow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
What did he enlist under MOS-wise? Did he have Airborne or the Option 40 in there?

If his PT scores are good (Currently he can max it out) he will be offered Airborne school. He plans to accept that and seek itThe Ranger recruiters are now visiting all basic/infantry school classes. If his PT scores are high enough, his sergeants recommend and he asks, then he automatically gets to go to what I called RIP. Obviously if he gets through RIP, then its on to Ranger school. Interestingly enough, a kid on his wrestling team who graduated last year has made it into Ranger school. They want him to become a designated marksman. Literally a kid who we spent every weekend with. I'll bet Nate follows him into Ranger Battalion if he can make itStill a pre-Ranger, but starting to make the dream real.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Congrats, Don, and HS#2 (Harward Son #2)! When's he supposed to ship? Has he been practicing the ACFT (new PT test)? Let me know if you, or he needs anything. I'm stationed at Benning, and will do what I can to help, if needed. Also, when you come down for family day/grad, let me know. Hopefully we can get together for a meal and adult beverage if you have time.
