OK I'm ready for those virtual tissues

You tempt me, if I didn't have to do some numbers I would problably be on the Goldwing heading for Lake Tahoe for a board meeting. You know I would have to go through Denver and you are on my list. We took the harley out Rte. 66 3 years ago and I will never get my other half on the Harley for that long again, besides if I rode the harley out there, I have to kick your A$$ regardless of my age. ;)
NOTE: You will never see a Goldwing at a bar, but you will never see a bar without a Harley. ;D

Well I got my first letter from my son, this is what it said...
Hey Mom and Dad, This sux I haven't slept in about 40 hours, I'm sore from standing in processing lines so much. It's not supposed to get much better so thats not cool. Well I don't get much time so I'd better go. Maybe I'll get to call soon so I'll talk to you later.
And then in very faint pencil on the back of the paper he wrote...Help me get out of here! I guess thats why they don't let them call home for at least three weeks.
I hope his next letter is a little longer and a bit more positive.
Lori:
Hang in there Mom!
I'm sure his next one will be longer and more positive!

Your son will grow up wiser and stronger then he would by going to college.
Pass on to him that people he will never meet are proud of him and the sacrifice he chose to make.
He will not realize it now, but the benefits he will have after getting out are immeasureable.
I know employers that value an Honorable Discharge more than a college education.
Another benny - VA Home Loan - I bought 2 houses using VA and avoided PMI.
He will become an unofficial ambassadiar of the U.S.
Especially if he is assigned overseas.
The list can go on-on.
And just as a humorous reminder - without the Navy - the Marines couldn't get anywhere.

Spahappy, I'm not sure I want to tell you this, but this is the way it is, so get a hold of yourself and realize they are making your boy into a man.
They first wear them down without sleep or rest, then they begin to reprogram their mental processors into disiplined, machines that react to commands and work as a team. They are in training and they have been doing this for a long, long time with very good results. It will develope pride and performance.
When you see him at the conclusion of his training, you are going to be beaming with pride and you son will now be seen in your eyes as a MAN. He will be all growd up and no longer mama's boy, but he will always be your son, and you will always beam with pride because he is YOURS. You are going to see him as a man serving his country with pride. And, I salute him.
