Hmm - got an email from a friend of mine that I haven't heard from since last year at my daughter's wedding. It said... to paraphrase
Hi how are you doing? How's your son? BTW - my son enlisted, he goes to basic right after Mother's Day. Talk to you soon.
Now I've known her for almost 20 years. Our sons were in pre-school together and later (when I transferred my kids to catholic school) they went to grade school together. She and I carpooled to our college classes for a year - both of us trying to get degrees and raise a family.
When she heard that my son enlisted - she asked me how I could let him do that. Also, she told me she was trying to talk her son out of doing ROTC in college.
So apparently her son dropped out of college and enlisted. But, hey how bout a few details please!!! MOS?
Where is he going to basic? Why the change from college to enlisting? You know, the little things.
Guess I'll have to try and call her this weekend, but she's notoriously difficult to get hold of - always busy. (which is why I haven't seen her since last year) Now this is going to drive me nuts until I find out!
