As some of you are tracking, my oldest boy is an active duty 11B who returned from his first tour in A-stan a few months ago. My second oldest is in his Senior year of HS right now.
Well, son #2 went to MEPS last Friday and enlisted in the Army as an MP. He'll ship next July. He's always wanted to serve; the biggest issue was getting him to do what he wanted without worrying about what his brother and I had done. He didn't want us to think he was a pussy.
Anyway, that's all over and the paperwork is done. Now is just the waiting and whipping his ass into shape.
