Just returned from son's "Turning Blue Ceremony" and Graduation from Infantry OSUT at Fort Benning. Seemed that the Airborne god (his DS) did not feel that Bill was worthy to fall from the skies after his Infantry training. So Friday after graduation, he and several others were shipped out to Fort Polk late in the afternoon--so did not get a whole lot time to spend with him.
Arriving at Fort Polk, during his in processing--will be assigned to the 1st Bn, 509th Abn--he was asked if he would like to volunteer for Jump School! So the gods did change their collective minds about him and he will be going back to Benning at the end of this month for Jump School! The Army just gave him one of the best birthday gifts this young Trooper could get.
Just wanted to give you guys an update on his travels and adventures:-) Told him to ask about Pathfinder School while he was there--never hurts to ask.
AIRBORNE all the way!
