My oldest, class of '14, took his oath yesterday, and will be heading to Ft. Benning at the end of the month.
He has been really wanting to serve his country for a while, and we had many conversations whether he went the officer or enlisted route. He wants to be an Army Ranger, and so after looking at his choices, held out for an Option 40 contract.
He got it last week and was processed and sworn in at Houston MEPS yesterday afternoon.
He knows that the road ahead of him will be tough, but he has a "never say die" mindset. I am very proud of what he has done, and what he is about to do.
Please say a prayer that God will get him through the physical and mental challenges that await.
Gig'em!!
