PO3 Bob McCord - It didn't matter if you were the son of the President. I coached wrestling and almost every single kid joined the military after 9/11, and that includes my female wrestlers. I had two girls who made All-American at the girls Nationals One of the girls was also honor graduate at basic (coed). I fear we are developing a military class. Many have seven or eight deployments. There was a recent 1SG from the Rangers who died on his 14th deployment. It is not fair that so many are carrying the burden for the rest of America.
