Re: OT: Time flies.
Wow, JD. Just wow.
I think the only parental desire that can eclipse wanting to see your kids safe is to see them happy, to see them full of passion and dedication and ready to live life. Congratulations to you and your wife for raising such an intelligent, thoughtful, and selfless young man.

Holy cow, what an incredible speech, and an incredible kid. You guys must be the proudest parents on Earth.
OK, except that he went Air Force instead of Navy, but hey, nobody's perfect!
It's kids like this who come to my mind first as soon as someone starts complaining about the next generation.

Re: OT: Time flies.
Jack,
Be VERY PROUD of your Son and the job you and your wife have done with him. If our country had more parents like you who truly cared about their kids, this country would have FAR fewer problems than we do today. Hell, just reading this thread makes me wish I had been a better father to my kids. Great job, story and inspiration to all parents! If your Son ever needs someone to have his back, tell him I am here along with the rest of us...

Re: OT: Time flies.
Dominic was given his Oath of Enlistment by an Army Captain whose father served with me back in the day. He started Air Force BMT in San Antonio last Monday. PS.... Dom isn't short (5'11) The Captain is 6'7. Hope all is well with everyone!

Damn, that captain looks a LOT like IndyCar driver Will Power.

Re: OT: Time flies.
Hah! That is exactly what I thought when I first saw the picture without reading the post. Why is Will Power in US Army uniform?pk500 wrote:Damn, that captain looks a LOT like IndyCar driver Will Power.
Congratulations Jack for raising such a fine young man. Time does sure fly. It's amazing to think that it was not that long ago when I remember seeing pictures of Dom and Carol in Italy with you when he was still a young boy. Just does not seem like it could possibly be that long ago. Good luck Dominic, and thanks for your commitment to serve our country.

Re: OT: Time flies.
JD, that is awesome!
My nephew Holden, (GT - Thantolas) who played with us on Xbox Live at times, finished basic training with the AF 2 months ago and is now in bomb disarming class in North Texas.
Maybe they will cross paths in time?

Re: OT: Time flies.
Airman's Run. First time we saw our son in months.

Carol "Taps Out" her son. She waited a long time for this moment.
For those of you who do not know what tapping out means it is an amazing experience, all Airmen must stand at attention until someone either taps them on the shoulder or hugs them.

Thanks for all the support DSP!
