I got the impression in one of the other posts that you have a son that is doing his duty somewhere abroad..

can you tell us what he does, or is that kinda "off limits"?

He could tell you but then he'd have to ban you.

Well he could also ban him before telling him, negating the entire issue.

True but there really wouldn't be any fun for the rest of us in that. Oh wait, yes there would be...

Skuzzy,

Read your post when you closed the duplicate Tillman thread.

I definately agree with your comments.

~~BTW in the concept of this thread, tell us about your kid that's serving now.~~

Why do you guys have the same avatar (revells and someone else)?

ravells · « **Reply #7 on:** April 24, 2004, 08:24:33 PM »

Well I pinched Diablo's avatar on account of a really brave man who gave his life for a better world.

My son (he is actually my step son, but I am the only father he ever knew) is currently a SERE (Search, Evade, Rescue, and Esacape) instructor in the Air Force. If any of you went through SERE school (the Air Force School trains Navy Seals, Rangers, and others from all over the world), you know how tough it is.
All military pilots go through a subset of SERE, and my son has gotten several letters sent to the base commander praising his professionalism in handling the task.
One letter, which he has framed in his room, was from a mother of a soldier serving in Iraq. It is quite simple. She said, "I received a letter from my son and he asked that I send a "thank you" for the training he got from Airman Dial. He felt he would not be alive today had it not been for the instructor. As the mother of this soldier, I would like to thank him as well."
Needless to say, I am proud of him.
He just recently got tapped to be sent to Iraq, which worries us a bit. The only solace we take right now is that he has some of the best training the military can offer.

I wish him good luck and a safe return

~~Skuzzy, if your son's back by September sometime, I'll probably get to see him when I go up to Washington for that. I'll keep my eyes peeled.~~
