    Default Proud Dad: Gotta Brag a Little...

    My son ("Sharpienads" on the forum) has been in the USAF as a JTAC/TACP for 12 years today. I got an email from him earlier today. He had just been informed he'd made Master Sgt (E7).

    He's done 3 tours each in Iraq and Afghanistan and he's on his 7th deployment to Kuwait right now. He was awarded a Bronze Star w/V for action in Fallujah. He's married to a wonderful girl who just graduated from nursing school.

    It almost brings tears to my eyes to think of how proud I am of him. He's also an American Patriot of the highest order.

    Thanks...I'm done.

    Way cool. I'm sure his mom and real father would be proud.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    Oh dang! I didn't know he was your son - I met him about 2 years ago and we had a great exchange. Well done, dad! Congrats Sharpienads on making MSgt!

    You know Carl he could not have grown up to be a good man without a good example to follow.
    Congrats to both of you.

    You're a rockstar Sharpienads, and you're a very blessed man, BG. Thank you both for being great men.
    I hope to be as proud a father as you are, someday.
