I've posted a bit in the airplane chat thread and fumbled around in the Welcome to the Vet's Hwy, but now I've sat though to actually post where I should...
I've been various forms of Air Force for 15 years. 15 years ago my nearly 3 yr old son was in the back of the Lansing MEPS ceremony room, throwing up on the floor during my ceremony.
Today he was screened in Troy, MI and passed with a 94 ASVAB and just squeaked by with his weight. He worked to lose 30 lbs since first talking to the recruiter in December. His goal is to work in the Air Crew Flight Equipment shop (Air Guard) so he can be mentored by the flyers while he is attending Western Michigan University's aviation program. Once he's earned his BS he can trade his stripes for butter bars.
My goal for him was to be enlisted first, so that if/when he does become an officer he knows what its like to be on the bottom.
Once his medical details load into the system he will be asking one of his teachers, a retired F-15 academy guy, to swear him in at his high school. This will allow many more family and friends to see what the beginning is all about.
