my son jeremy got accepted into the AIR FORCE today !!!!!


yes...i have been keeping a secret from ALOT of people but we did not want to get too excited in case he got turned down....again.


he went to a recruiter last month & she ran his background/criminal check - only his probation report showed up. he had to write a letter explaining it. then he had his physical last week. he had to go today to see the MEPS orthpedic for a knee consult.  he got cleared !!! he finds out in the next couple weeks when he can leave :O)


his career choice is in aviaonics & will most likely stay in texas for tech school,too.


as soon as he gets his dates i can make plans to go to texas for basic graduation :O)


 he said..."mom, now you can tell the world...i know you will!!!"


i am soooo happy..on cloud 9 for my son.

yes, it does. oh and when he graduates from boot camp you have to go. if it's anything like the army and the navy (i have a child in each) it is something that you will never forget.

oh pat, it will be worth every minute of it. they will get you a discount on the hotel probably, we got one for both of the boys graduations.
be prepared to cry your eyes out, too. have plenty of hankies or kleenex with you cause you will need them.
