I am the proud parent...
of a US soldier!
My son has been gone to boot camp for almost a week. I think the thing I miss most is being able to talk to him when I want to. I have gained tremendous respect for him as he has gone through the process of enlisting and choosing what he wants to do. I have seen some of his friends ridicule him, forsake him, and some have even verbally abused him. Through all of this he has stood on his principles and moved ahead. I have another son going through the same process. Soon our house will be empty except for my wife and I. Our lives will change forever. We are in the process of learning to be a couple again instead of mom and dad. This is very different and even challenging sometimes.
I desire everyone's prayers for my sons and if you have children in the military, our prayers are with you. May God bless our children and our country.

nice to see you back again. I'd given up on you.
I don't know if I would like the idea of my son going into the military or not. Especially these days. I kind of think I would want to try to talk him out of it, for selfish reasons. It scares me to think what could happen to him. Kids aren't supposed to go before their parents. I almost lost my daughter once and it is a traumatic feeling. I don't know if I would want to go through that again.
Welcome back Garza! I've missed you.
May God's presence be with your family during this time of transition. Of course, I'm learning everyday is a little transition.

I want you to know that My prayers and the prayers of my wife are with you and your family.
Your sons have made a noble decision, and while I know that it will not be easy for you or your wife during this time of transition, you and your sons are greatly apreciated.
