Don't worry, that was just his first lesson in working for the Government.

If waiting 20 minutes for someone to say they're not coming was a trial - He's not going to enjoy a military career.

Oh so true with being married! Lol..
Early, na, on time, yeah..
If it's one thing I hate it's waiting! Like going to the kids docs office, being late and your wrong and you have to make a new appt. Yet showing up on time, and having to wait an hour before you get taken back, then having to wait another 30min is ok on their side..

Well, the son got an appt and we got a ride, and well he took the first step which is a pre-enlistment! He's got to fill that paperwork out and in a few weeks will be sworn in, it's not the big one(that's in a year) but it's the start to it! So I guess that's it, he's decided to join the Air Force!

He played football right?  If it was anything like what I put my kids thru when I coached then.......

Proud of him for deciding to serve our country.   :salute:

Lots of respect for him.  You both did a great job and I'm sure you both are very proud of your young man.

Momma? Oh yeah, but she's going to be a water fountain even for this first pre-signing. To top that off she really hasn't been away from him that much, I mean yeah school or work or time she's been in the hosp, but he's only spent a few weeks of time away from home! And all that time he/she's been able to call. So that's kinda got me worried! Oh heck I gotta see if I can find the pic of her letting his brother on the bus for the first time, lol

Oh and little bro, lol.. I think he's going to be in heaven for the first couple of days or weeks but then become kinda odd, then sad missing him. Lol

Lol, I tried using that against him looooong ago when they wouldn't go to sleep, telling them I would hand them over!

Oh oh, but here's a good one! We kept saying to him that we were going to trade him in for a newer model, well, when it was time to have the little guy, he lost it, he was letting the water flow, and we asked him what's wrong? You should be happy, your getting a little brother! *sniff sniff* your trading me in.. omg we lost it :rofl: :rofl:

First off, there are a lot worse decisions your son could make than joining the Air Force.  Congratulations to him, and to you I say excellent job, raising him properly.  The thing about the tattoos, well, I have an opinion on that but I won't bother saying it here as it's not really constructive.  What I will say is, if they do cause problems for him, we live in an age where they aren't permanent, and he always has that choice.

Next up, I think military service is a damned good idea, especially in these days when military service is looked upon as a good thing.  He will get training, discipline and an education, plus the potential for seeing parts of the world outside of his own, and that is invaluable experience on it's own, uniform or not.

As for cleaning his room, well, the Air Force will help with that too.   >:D

What you need to do is recognize the opportunity that he has been given and start to help his transition into the military lifestyle- might I suggest setting an alarm for 5am, bursting into his room, throwing his sneakers and a pair of shorts at him and telling him he has five minutes to get dressed before his run begins?  Then, if he hasn't emerged within five minutes you go after him with a water bottle- preferably one kept in the fridge so it's nice and cold.  Tell him he doesn't come home until he has tracked five miles- use his cell phone as proof.

As fun as that will be the first day, just wait till you see him jump the second day when you open the door!   >:D

After a week you can go back to sleeping in, knowing full well that he's going to be doing it all himself.  It's one of the few times in life where you get to be as evil as you want, and be rewarded for it- and there's no rule about enjoying it.

Hey, everyone has there own opinion on tattoos, both the wife and I like them, so long as they can be "covered" with a simple piece of clothing! Hands, neck, and face is just pushing it too much, and he understands that! All of mine get covered with a short sleeve shirt "except" a medical alert one, which is on the lower part of my arm, it's kinda made to grab your attn, and it has worked, when I was in the hosp I actually got praised by every nurse and doc, even the emt's that brought me in.. and in my opinion if I can grab a medics attn without saying anything that's perfect, especially since I technically won't be there when anything happens.. so that's kinda got a use rather then just a pic,,
  But he's got to get into a swing, he's already up early for school or work, but working out and going for a run is something he needs to start, I kinda need to do the same! I hit an old number I haven't seen in a while, so I gotta do something so maybe I can use him to my advantage? So I got him for a year!
But thank you for your thoughts!
