In January of 1980 I joined the Air Force without telling my parents, went to Cleveland recruiting staion and di the physical and all the stuff I needed to do.... Had a date to leave and a job that I would be going to school for.... I was gone for a couple of days and I gave them a BS excuse about picking up a car with a buddy out of town..... Well when I got back I broke the news too them and they weren't happy but understood.... They felt I should of been more upfrong with them and inn hindsight I now agree....
Fast forward 31 years later, I took my son up too Niles Ohio yesterday and he left for Cleveland for his final swearing in and leve for basic training @ Lackland AFB San Antonio Tx..... My daughter was home for Christmas but had too leave last night too make it back to work this afternoon..... So we are officially an empty nest house for the first day.... Wife is a basket case, her two babies are gone and never too return :smiley_depressive: She is normally a very rationale person until it comes too the kids.... lol.....
So I've been texting my son as he rides the bus to basic training.... so far other then being nervous he said He's fine lol... the calm before the storm lmao..... Looks like I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the field in the near future :smiley_clap:
So the third generation of my family is officially in the Military..... ickle:
