Title: Dropped off little CCTAU for basic today!
Post by: CCTAU on February 26, 2018, 10:53:37 PM
He will be at Lackland for basic and Goodfellow for training. 
He is going into intel ops for the Air Force.

Tough to send off another one.

Prayers and good thoughts appreciated.

A lot to be proud of for this.

Since I saw this, I have struggled to respond.  

Full admiration.  Total respect.  While I believe in everything the military stands for and provides for this country I'm not sure how I'd feel if one of my daughters was heading off to serve.  

I can't imagine the emotions of the parents in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s who watched their kids get shipped off to Europe and Asia with the fate of the world in their hands. 

You and your kid deserve nothing but honor.

Yeah yeah. His mom was in the other room and missed his call letting us know he made it to San Antonio. Killed her. (of course I've been screaming for years for her to keep her cell with her)
We won't get another call until after a week when he gets to send address information.
I think its harder today than it was when my oldest went in the Army in 2004. With cell phones today, we keep up a lot more when our kids are off somewhere, school, work, etc..
I'm sure some TI is up his ass already. Doubt he got much sleep last night!

I am very proud of your son. As I stated earlier.
I was the first, as a matter of fact.
But I’m unsure about a couple of things.
Are you ok with your son taking it Up the butt by this Ti? I always thought you didn’t like Asians.

You really didn’t have a cell phone in 2004?

I figured you’d at least have an installed car or bag phone then.

I had a phone. My wife had a phone. But my 17 yr old(at the time) did not have a phone in the sense that today's youth has phones. We had the old bricks that you had to pay extra for text messages with.  No social media and the lot. So it wasn't the same as it is for my younger kids.
Just think about how much easier it is to communicate and keep up with your kids today. Now take that away!
I remember my wife checking myspace every day that my son was in Iraq (2004) just to see if he had logged on for the day, so she would know he was still alive.

A soldier was getting his airborne qualification and on the night after his first jump, he called his dad to tell him how it went. 

Dad:  So, how did it go?

Soldier:  Dad, I got up to the door and I froze.  I absolutely froze.

Dad:  What happened next?

Soldier: You know that huge, nasty instructor I've been telling you about?  Well, he told me if I didn't jump he was going to shove his 10" dick up my ass.

Dad:  Well, did you jump?

Soldier:  Yeah, a little at first.

I must admit that even if this one does not meet the high IQ standard, it made my fat belly shake. I chortled. Actually, almost shit.

I just noticed the running tally of the Likes. Had only been on by phone so far.
I would have been a lot nicer had I known that we are making this information public.

The Air Force?!  Holy hell, just shoot him an email and ask him how he's doing.  Maybe between his lobster and steak lunch and playing video games, he can shoot you one back. 

But seriously, be proud that you have a kid smart enough to join and get trained in something that he can use in the real world.

Yeah. I told him not to mess up or they would take his spa day away!
My oldest told him if he tried to join Army or Marines that he would break both of his legs so they wouldn't take him. Five years in the 101 jaded him!
Hopefully he is making friends with the Sgt so he can join cigar night...
