Congrats to your son on his promotion. What sucks is now he will have to be the one asking those questions in the future. :icon_smile:

Glad he is doing alright though. Enjoy your time with him on his leave!

I have on many occasions. He does appreciate it. No snappy comebacks are given. He has had people thanking him for a few years. At first it was hard for him to accept as he had not "done anything". I talked to him about that a lot. It helped that his grandfather served in Germany during the Koran War so I was able to ask him if his service was any less honorable than the men who were stationed in Korea. I asked him about the soldiers who were stationed in camps around the US during WWII and Korea, do we look down on them? When he told me no then I was able to tell him that his service has been no less honorable.
He finally decided to accept the thanks and well wishes from strangers for all those who had been overseas.
Now that he is there himself he really does appreciate everyone's thanks and prayers.

WPR - Nice read.

I have never served, but have heard from family and friends who have that the military is a lot of bureaucracy. This confirms it.

Very funny. I'm glad he seems to be doing ok and hope his finger gets better.

As far as he was concerned, It was the ol Ray Nitsche method of spit on it, rub a little dirt on it. Wrap a some tape around a couple of fingers and let's go.

I'm incredibly bad at extending condolances or sympathy to people with loved ones over seas. Whenever I try, I get so cold and numb inside. So let me just say . . . I look forward to the day when your anxiety and heartache are soothed by the embrace of your son.

And yet I can still remember when he was 10 yrs old and couldn't push the lawnmower. He was so skinny he didn't have any muscles and our lawn is pretty rough terrain with a hill on one end of it.
He sat down on the grass and started to cry. I sat down next to him and explained to him that he was only going to get stronger and I was going get weaker. Within 10 years he was going to be stronger than me.
It seemed hard for him to understand at the time.
How time flies.
