Welcome, thanks for your service, and good luck to your pup.

I'm surprised that your boy isn't following in dads footsteps, but I guess that, after he's put in his time at Bn., he'll be able to go join SF, or the boys at Bragg, if he puts his mind to it - a lot of Rangers have followed that track.
