Post Son's aspirations

Hello all. My son is 15, and has romantic ideas about wanting to be in the air force. I've talked it through with him at length - it's not for the fainthearted. Too many people, I guess, have gone in and found out the hard way that it's not for them. But he'll go his own way. He always does.

I have found that the best way to get through to anyone is don't push!

I think that's sage advice. He does have a lot of romantic notions, but I'm sure he's capable of making good decisions. And, yeah, the quickest way to drive somene away is to push them.

Going into the Air Force could be a great experience for him. I know, you never stop worrying about your kids.

Were you in the service, Kyle?

Not me, no.

David is quite a sensible guy; Danny is more reckless. I'll support him in whatever he wants to do, but really want to make sure he's thought it through deeply and properly. It's an exciting career, but not for everyone. Not by any means.

Post Re: Son's aspirations

I think it could be absoulutely fantastic, but only for those who approach it in a realistic way.
