My son can't wait to get back to basic training. On one hand, I'm thrilled he's doing so well and feels he made the right choice to enlist.On the other hand, is it so terrible that he has to run to the military?He's running towards war.  Certain war.What the freak is wrong with him?How did I raise s

He's almost home!He's almost home!I'm so excited it's almost pathetic.Less than six days to go!!!
