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.

jdlax (11h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight
dfosterf (16h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊
dfosterf (16h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.
beast (16h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down
Zero2Cool (21h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
