Best rates to get into?

My daughter, a college grad, just spent six months in a combined A and C school for advanced IT. She went to RTC as an E3 and will be getting a rate of E4 when she starts her first duty next week.

Off to RTC Great Lakes

my Son, Dallas just left for basic training. He is traveling from Shreveport, La. He is scheduled to land at O.Hare around 1900hrs. I am having a harder time than I thought with letting him go! I'm not going to lie to you, when I got home from the airport I broke down. I know it is going to get better, but I don't like this feeling. " I'm a grown man with 29 yrs of military, i''m not supposed to feel like this!" I was filled with all of these emotions. Thinking about all the missed time with my… Continue
