Tell him to become a pilot. Maybe enlisted in the AF is different though.

He's off to a good start. Already knows how to use his Air Force gloves.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

What brought this about is we were talking about how it was 50 years ago in two weeks (2/7/65) that Pleiku was hit badly by mortars/rockets, etc. dang near overrun. My dad has a recording he made from there during that time to my mom and we won't play it anymore but I was telling the boy just because you're on a maintenance stand doesn't mean you're golden. He wants to do it. But he also wants to be a pilot/astronaut. Or "a myth buster." We will see. Kid is smart. Took ACT in 7th grade and got a 26....31 on Science.

He's off to a good start. Already knows how to use his Air Force gloves. Classic. Just missing his pilot shades and pens sticking out of his pocket. All kidding aside, great looking kid sir.
