I agree that you're going to be seeing a lot more of your son than you realize.At least he's still going to livenearby.I joined the Air Force when I was 19, and ended up the middle of the Pacific Ocean for three years.

My wife and I did not have kids (by choice), so I'm not familiar with the experience.Just remember that it'snatural to feel as you do - being totally OK with the change would be cause for concern.

 

Thanks Space, that was nice.

I don't think I could've handled him being in the military now, even though I had tought about joining myself at one time. I never told him he couldn't, that was his decision, but I sure am glad he didn'twant to. He was in JROCT in high school for one semester, and hated it.

 

hey now is the time to chace the old man around naked and enjoy the time you have together with out the ruggies.

but you will see him more and also it is better for quality time you and him actually plan his being there so it makes it a lot easier.

 

LOL, Mickey, that would be just about the time he'd show up unannouced. Better change the door locks I guess.

 

i havent told my parents im leavin next fall...they think im stayin where i am now for a few more years, wonder how my mom will take that

 

it would be a great idea to say somethign ahead of time Kweef. give her a chance to relax about the idea .

Busty bird

yeah mostlikely. But you need to tint the windows also so he dont come looking in on ya to LOL

But if nothing else you got a giggel out of it LOL

 

Kweef, at least do a little hinting at the subject. I thought he would be here at least a year or so 'til he finishes school so it came as a bit of a shock.

Mickey, tint the windows, eh? You think that'll make my house look a little more sporty and not so "plain"?
Guess it's a good thing I found my dream car before this or everyone sure enough would say I was having some kind ofmid life thing. (for the record, I've wanted a MC for at least 20 years, so that should put any doubts to rest, LOL)

 

thanx to both of u for the advice...idk tho its hard to tell her im leavin, she was upset when i just went to mexico for 3 weeks...but ill tell her b4 im done with this next semester

 

I had trained my parents for that one... Since I was 14 I was going out all night and by 16 I'd be over at other friends apartments for weeks at a clip.

Good times on my side.
