One has conflicting emotions at times like this. Reminds me of when I left for the USAF...in 1975! I was 17, and he's 24, but still a little kid at heart. He'll be working for a very good friend of mine and AJ knows him. He says he'll "do me proud".
C'est la vie.
Hey max, when you said 'again', I thought you meant he came home then left again for points out there! BTW, I went into the AF at 17 (delayed enlistment signed up Oct 71 right after B day and was called in Feb 72) as well. Young, dumb, and full of co........nflicting emotions and ideas. Quite a story,kinda sad, funny, scarey, and memorable. So, if your at the dragon this year, lets meet, say HI and we can share a couple of stories.
