I am so excited I can hardly contain myself.
My son joined the Army in November and has been on a bit of a roller coaster ride since then.
He loved it, he hated it...some serious thinking was done by him. He thought it was all rubbish for a while and I became quite concerned. When you join the Service you cannot take any meds. I will not go into details.... but.............WHHOOOOOHOOOOO
He just made 2nd Platoon, 1st Squad Leader (verbatim from him, no clue what it means but its a good thing).
He gets to wear a new insignia on his uniform and again verbatim "I want to rank up to Specialist asap".
I joked with him about how having a positive mental 'tude can make such a difference. He said he was thinking about getting about getting a PMA tattoo. I really thought he was being sarcastic (he does have an English mother after all) but he actually MEANT it!!!
Rock the Force!!!!
And so you should be proud!!
ReplyDeleteMy brother was in the army for 5 years and loved it, only leaving to marry and start a family.
