I have 5 very good friends serving In Iraq. My wife and I wish your family all the best. I know what my friends families are going through it was rough going for them for awhile. But they put their faith in god and 1 has come home safe and sound. Keep your chin up and keep us posted on how things are going. Again we wish you all the best.

My step son is in basic training at Lackland Air force Base , San Antonio, TX. He Graduates next week. Going to be a Air traffic Controller. I am Very Proud Of him, And love him very much.
I don't have any children in the service but do have two nephews in the US Army and one of my daughters has a half brother in there, too. The half brother is in Iraq now and has already received a purple heart. One of the nephews has served in Afganistan and is scheduled to go to Kuwait soon. He's in the Rangers and is a drill instructor right now. The other nephew is in the Medical Corp. We've been told he's currently in Germany but that can change at any time.

i think
i think that it's a great thing your son is doing i am a disabled veteran from the us navy and i want to thank him and wish him the best of luck and i hope you and your family deal with his leaving well like others told you put your faith and trust in gods hands and all will turn out well for you all
He will be taking Basic at Ft Jackson in S Caralina.Then school at Ft Gordon in Georga.Thanks Everone for your comments.I am PROUD of him.His Name is Tyler Fry
I would like to thank Tyler and all the fine young men and wemon who serve our country.I sleep better having such a fine bunch watching my back.We will keep Tyler in our prayers.
My daughter went to basic at Ft Jackson and then on to Ft Gordon. She is currently stationed in Germany after having been in Kuwait for a year. She is due to come home in June, but who knows how long she will be able to stay in the states.
But I am very proud of her, and if your son likes the Army even half as much as she does, he'll do great.
