  • Hello dads!  I'm New to this site and looking forward to learning from all of you during my sons journey.  My son Chase leaves for Boot Camp Sept. 17th and has just signed his contract for AIRR.  I am very excited for him and nervous at the same time.  He has been working extremely hard and is ready to start his journey!  

  • I mean... February 2018.   lol

    His graduation should be around February 2818.  I'm planning to attend.  Meanwhile, he's coming home next week for two weeks.  I'm very excited!!

    Happy holidays!!!
