I need some good luck to come my way.
« on: September 10, 2009, 01:41:16 PM »
I was having a conversation with my son the other day and he hit me with a wallop, so I have have decided to devote this elk season to getting him his first elk and first bow kill.

He has decided to join the Air Force after hunting season   :'(  Don;t get me wrong, i am proud of him but it's not easy thinking about my son leaving home. He has been a huge part of my life and i had grow up fast when he was born (I was only 19 and he was born 3 days after the wife and i graduated HS), so i missed out on a lot of things in my young adult hood.

So with out getting all sappy on you all i just need some good luck to get him his first bow kill and first elk.

He's volunteering to serve his country; there's gotta be some good karma headed his way... ;)

Best of luck to both of you.

Airforce is the better way to go if I was going to have my son join the military that is the branch I would pick.  Make sure he signs up for the GI Bill.  Lots of luck to you and your son.

Hey Sap oops, I mean Gasman, good luck.  :chuckle:

How cool is this though. What a memory you are creating with him. We waited a long time to get married, then waitied again to have kids, so I will not have as many years with them as you will. Sometimes I am jealous of families who had kids at a younger age.  Good luck, and thank the young man from my family for stepping up and protecting this country. Sounds like you have a hero in the making.
