Monty Posted December 6, 2009 #1 Posted December 6, 2009 We just returned from Ft Sill, where my youngest just graduated from his Basic Training. He has moved on to Ft Leonard Wood now. It was a 10 hour drive for us, but well worth it. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/FT%20Sill/IMG_0235.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/FT%20Sill/Benji1.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/FT%20Sill/IMG_0242.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/FT%20Sill/IMG_0272.jpg My oldest, (the one who rides the GS850), is in week 2 of his Basic at Ft Sill, so we didn't get to see him while we were there. They were supposed to go at the same time, but he had to get his tattoos approved first, so that held him up. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/FT%20Sill/1120090437.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/FT%20Sill/Jared2.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/FT%20Sill/Jared1.jpg
Owen Posted December 6, 2009 #2 Posted December 6, 2009 You should be very proud of them both! Thank them for their service and may God bless and watch over them.
RandyR Posted December 6, 2009 #3 Posted December 6, 2009 A good looking son, I'm sure you're proud of both of them. Well. Ft. Leonard Wood can be quite cold in January-February (been there, done that). Is he going to engineer advanced training there? Social life near Ft. Leonard Wood is a bit limited, the local town Waynesville is pretty much a dive. Rolla is 30 miles away, and doesn't have much to offer, while its a college town its a predominately male college with little social life outside the fraternities there (I went to school there). Best bet for a weekend off is Springfield, Mo about 80 miles west.
Sling Posted December 6, 2009 #4 Posted December 6, 2009 You look like Proud parents. Thank them for their service.
Monty Posted December 6, 2009 Author #5 Posted December 6, 2009 It was really cold in Oklahoma too. Yes, they will both do their AIT in Ft Leonard Wood for Combat Enginner Training. I know what you mean about the surrounding areas. I was born on post there, and I have been back there for training also.
Venturous Randy Posted December 6, 2009 #6 Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks for sharing this and we are also very proud of them. RandyA
