I was going through my flash drive and came across a pic of me & my 17-yr-old. He'll be 18 next month. He's been in the Army since February. I just happened to be going through mobilization training at Ft Bliss at the same time he was attending school there for his job. This pic was taken this past June One one of the occasions that I was able to visit him. He has since graduated from training and is now at Ft Sill, OK. He's going to Korea next with his unit, which is cool because it means that he is NOT coming here to Iraq anytime soon!!! Not too worried about that if he does though, he's an Air Defense radar operator and would be watching for incoming indirect fire were he to come over here, which beats kicking in doors any day of the week!
