Got back yesterday from Reno, NV.  Was there for 4 days to see my nephew/God son get commissioned into the Army as a 2LT and then to see him graduate from UNR.  Twas a good trip...............very hot and dry during the day, but cool and dry at night.  Went to see Lake Tahoe on Friday...........beautiful.

 

My nephew got commissioned with 8 others on Thursday. Of the 9 of them, 3 are going into the Army and the others into the Nevada National Guard.  At the ceremony hearing what all these cadets have done and accomplished, I have a new hope for the future of our country.  If all the young folks had these kids gumption and drive..........................well you know. 

 

I'm very proud of him.

Rightfully so DW. Happy for the both of you. I have a son who just retired from the Air Force after 23 years, a son in law who just returned from his 3rd tour in Afganistan, and now my grandson is going to join the army after he graduates from high school this month. 

 

Here's to all of them.

Awesome! All my extended family is pretty much from that area. I was even born in Reno!

 

...all I could say, is, as long as they remember the oath that they took.

My nephew is retiring from the Air Force. He had three tours in the sand box, was stationed in England, Okinawa, and I believe South Korea. One of the jobs he had when he was at Andrews was to refuel AF1.

DW I could and you didn't even swing up into Idaho to say "Hi!"...

 

Geez...
