Thanks for the encouragement guys! Right now I'm home on leave for Christmas..Basic so far has been interesting. We just ended the first 3 weeks 3 days ago and changed to the white phase..When I go back they said we get to start shooting things. That makes me happy!! My MOS is Infantry if you wanted to know. I'm at ft. Benning on Sand Hill and my o my do they like to do " corrective trainning "...sometimes we dont even know why we're doing it. And for thoes of you who are asking about dad and mom, they'll still be shooting. Dads excited to get back into the game. I just have one more big goal...To try to get dad to sign some of these guns over to me when I turn 21...Right now when I ask him about that he laughs at me ...o well...still have 3 years to work him
