My son is at Offut in Nebraska. Test scores came out on Wednesday. He made it!:D He'll graduate Airman Leadership school on Sept 18 and when the paperwork is all done forget what he called it something about "lines" he'll get his 4th stripe. Then he;s off to Bragg in Nov. for joint training with the Army and then off to Balad in Iraq:shakehead:. I thought he was going to Qatar but no. But he will be back in the RJ instead of the Guardrail.:cool2: I am very proud of him. Airborne Linguist in Mandarin Chinese and now becoming a Tactical Sensor Operator on top of that. Not sure what it is but he can call in the F16's to inflict mass casualties and that is real cool!
 
Is that similar to a forward observer? They are the Army's group that calls for fire. And congratulations, too!
 
I think it's similar with the difference being he does not need to see them to know where they are. He only needs to have them make a call or use a radio and boom! Bye bye bad guys!
 
Congrats.....when and where is the beer party???? ITS TRADITION!!
 
Congratulations, Jim. May he serve safely and return home to his loved ones.

I have $50 that says you get more respect on ScubaBoard after this post :rofl3: (joking of course). That is very cool. One of the best video games ever :wink:. Congrats to him :thumb:.
 
Congrats. You are obviously a very proud papa, with very good reason.
 
Congratulations Jim!
