My son is currently a Junior and is seriously contemplating joining either the Army or the Marines. I come from a long line of men who served. Both Grandfathers, Father, myself, and both brothers all served active duty. However, it's a little different feeling when it's your son possible joining the military with so much going on in the world today.

My father, a WWII vet, just told me to keep my head down and my pants up and I would come home O.K.

Not crazy at all. We as parents are more protective of our kids, then we were of ourselves. I know my military folks, who feel the same way.

SPC Darin Day You are not crazy. You are a parent. My father served in the Air Force. Both of my parents died before I graduated from high school. My sister did not want me to enlist, but I did anyway. Just love your son and try to answer his questions about military service. If he does enlist, you will be a proud father. Good luck.
