Said goodbye to my youngest....she's on her way to Air Force basic training in San Antonio.... :cry: ....sigh......

You must be a proud papa, NG. Proud and sad. My only is 11. I dread seeing him off for the first time, no matter what it is/where it is that he's doing.

I can remember when the kids went off to school. Wife and I missed them. Still miss them. Always makes you feel good when you see them. Grandchild makes it even better.

Drove from 48th and 8th in Manhattan to Glens Falls in two hours and 45 minutes.

 

Glad you are back safe.

Thanks for all the well wishes...sigh... proud, but still an emotional wreck. Hopefully it gets better...

Which rate did your daughter choose and when will she find out where's she's stationed after boot camp?

She scored really high on the ASVAB qualified for a ton of jobs and chose mid air refueler boom operator... :rolleyes: she has to do a bunch of different survival training then goes to tech school in OK...not sure where she will be stationed yet, I think that's after tech school...hopefully it's in the continental US. I guess it's a cool job.

I did very well on my ASVAB, too. They tried to get me to go nukes. I chose Radioman, which was on the lower end of ASVAB requirements. I didn't care. It was the job that looked most-appealing to me. I loved it. I just didn't love the Navy, so I got out after 4. But I have no regrets because I did what I wanted to do.

 

Anyway, I'm glad your daughter had her pick and that she chose something that she really wanted.

 

This is seriously one of the coolest jobs I've ever seen. It's great to see a young woman take control of her career. I look forward to you bragging about her .. as you should!

Thanks Gugny!!! Those very kind words really takes the sting out of "losing her"...much appreciated! :beer: They tried to get her to sign up for six, she chose four just in case....you know her dream job would have been a gunner on an AC130 gunship. :lol: I'll keep you updated....
