Congrats to your son! Don't forget that what your son has so wonderfully accomplished in his short life is a reflection of the GREAT job y'all did as parents. This country needs a helluva lot more of that! Congrats to you, Mom and Dad!!

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Congrats and good luck to him in Hooah school. I think they have a good pre-Ranger course now for the IN officers. When I went in the late 90's, they didn't have one, threw together a couple days informally just to give us some prep. Going from college ROTC and BOLC straight into Ranger School is a huge jump without something in between.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
