My son and I. He just finished Basic Training and is on leave before AIT.
I went over to Ft Leonard Wood to watch the graduation, a real proud moment.

Congrats Fishboy....if only could get one of my knuckleheads to go in....oh well, they saw the life that I participated in for 26 years, guess they didn't care for it as much as I did.

Congrats on the new improved model! That young man looks like a cyborg! But I bet he's still not quite sure if he can take the old man yet!

Thanks everyone for the comments, I am extremely proud of that young man! I have three more that will hopefully do the same thing.
