The next goal is to maintain the condition needed to wear full dress blues in 2016 and have the honor of rendering the well deserved salute to DS and any/all of your DDs and DSs that will take a salute from an old jarhead.
LMAO!
DS will commission this yr. and Bullet (ret O5) will have the honor of administering the oath to him. He is retired and hasn't worn his blues in 2 yrs., so now it is about making sure he can still fit in them!
I of course will make sure he can fit in it because I will not be happy if we have to spend a few hundred to buy a new set of blues for him to wear for a couple of hours!
Believe it or not the yrs will fly by faster than a blink of an eye. I have to say DS commissioning will be emotional, but seeing him give his 1st salute to his father will be the tear jerker to me. Something about a son and a father.
I know all of you are looking at that appointment list growing, and seeing so many added on from this week may be disheartening, but remember always, they will be commissioned in 16 if they want it.
Remember, AF in the AD world does not care the source, they will all go AD!
JMPO, as a spouse of an ADAF flier and a Mom, fate has a way. You will need to look deep inside of yourself and believe when the chips are down that it will work itself out. You need to believe when the chips are up that it can change in a moment. You need to accept that no matter what you do, this is their path.
I am not saying a higher being, I am saying you just BELIEVE. The sooner you find that peace, the sooner you will embrace all of the positives and forget about any negative.
