A BIG decision for a young Man
 
It's not fish related or Kayak related, but I think you will all appreciate something I am VERY proud of.

In this day and age of unrest in the world where we seem to be getting our hands into everything.

There are those who fight for our rights to fish, and they are appreciated.

My son has made a big decision in his life to fight for our freedom, and was sworn in yesterday to the Army!

Many in our family are prior military to include me (USMC OOORAH), and I know a lot of fishing folks here on BWE are either Prior or Active military, so needless to say we are proud of his decision .

Thanks for sharing!

Army? In San Diego? How did you let that happen?... everybody around here is Navy, Marines, and a few black sheep Coast Guard, but they mostly stick to themselves. :)

He looks like a fine young individual. Mom looks over the moon, too. Two proud parents in that photo, no doubt! Well done.

HOOAH.....A special thank you - Not only to your son for his upcoming service to this great country, but to you as well (USMC), and to your wife for the sacrifice of having your child serve in a time of war. My son is a 1st Lt., and currently serving - 3rdID.

Ingrain it into his head now...............BEAT NAVY! (sorry pop's)
