Just decided to follow my footsteps and join the USAF.  We will both be in for about a year together.

My dad retired from the Army after 24yrs. of service.  When I wanted to follow in his footsteps the only service branch that he gave his blessing to join was the Air Force.  I'm glad I followed his advice!

Your dad had something we Army folks call "perspective."

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

It seems like I am a little late to the show here, but congratulations! I could only imagine how proud you must feel.
