First one just graduated from the Coast Guard Academy and finished his first deployment in the Pacific, the twins report for Army basic training on January 23rd. Both hope to become Rangers. Don't want to think where they'll be sent.

2 kids here. Hopefully their status will keep them out. 1 is in the reserves, going to college, another is going to CGSS in a few months for a 10 month course.

Their friends in the military may not be so lucky. I've met so many of them in the past 10 years and watched several of them grow up. My body literally aches right now.
