today, one of my adopteds in the air force called me. he "recertified" in weapons training after slipping through the paperwork for several years. the air force recerts every 2 years - he made it to five before being sent out to spend the day doing weapons handling.
i jokingly asked if he was being deployed - for the moment he is safe because of his field. he DID tell me something that is extremely worrisome - and should have everyone who knows military folk deeply concerned.
come with me to see where we are headed - and why you should talk your kids out of joining the air force and the navy!
