Congratulations and God Bless.

Tell him good luck, and thanks. Texas Air Guard is supporting us right now with inter theater transport C-130's. I'm on a TX c130 at least weekly

Thanks all....I will pass on the expressions of thanks and well wishes to him.

FLT 269 graduates a week from this Friday. I can't wait to see him!

I missed the OP. Thank him for me and congratualtions. I know you must be proud. Prayers for his safety in serving our wonderful country.

Congratulations to all. Many thanks for his service.

Congratulations! When will he be attending Basic Training? Lackland is home to me, and I will be back there in the middle of May...

BTW, if you plan on attending his graduation and bringing a handgun..... here is what you can do: Unload and seperate before entering (like fed transport guideline) the installation (once you cross the threshhold of the fence you are on base, not the gate-common misconception). Identify to the gate guard you have a firearm you need to courtesy store while on base. They will get you a SF escort to the armory... You check it in when you get there, pick it up right before you leave and load up as soon as you are off base. If you stay in hotel on base then they do overnight too. The armory has 24 hours ops but I would recommend avoiding it between 0500-0600, 0630-0700, 1200 - 1300, 1330-1400, 0930-2200 and 2230-2300.....

williamkevin - Bless you for raising a volunteer!

AFCop - good info indeed! I might be needing that myself when I go to my daughter's graduation from basic!
