Well it is official my son is going to defend our country
 

My son rasied his hand in KC yesterday. Some here have met Josh, his username is Raiderborn.

Congratulations to him and your family. I wish him all the best. Which branch did he go into?

Kewl...
 

The Army he is going to be a Combat Engineer Airborn. He is pretty pumped to be jumping out of planes.

Thank you and best of luck to you, Josh. :thumb:

Just remind him to be extra nice to the guys in the parachute shop!!!

Your son
 

Give him our very best, and know that all of us in metro Kansas City are proud of his decision to serve our great country. :thumb:

Thank him from all of us that benefit from his service.

Thank him and wish him godspeed from me. Airborne are bad ass.

ROFL I guess thats why they call me a redneck I misspelled "Airborne"

Welcome Josh!

We certainly need a few more good young ones to replace the old bastards like myself. I wear an Airborne tab myself, but I still fully don't understand the reason for jumping out of a perfectly good plane.

God Bless you Josh....my 18 year old also named Josh has been talking to the local army sgt about joining. Even though I was in the service, I don't want him to be. But it's his decision.

Best Wishes to your son.....

Ah, so he is going to be a stud jumping out of planes. Congrats and best of luck! :thumb:

Thank you for your service sir. It is individuals like you that ensure our country will always be a great one. Best luck, wishes, and hopes for your bright future.

Tell him congrats and thank you!

Thank you. Not a day goes by I don't see a picture of my grandparents or my good buddies that are in the army. I thank them all.

I will pray for the success of your son. Thank him from me for his service.

Good job bringing the boy up right. I commend you and your son.

God go with him. Tell him our whole country is indebted for his service.

I wish him nothing but the best. He is doing the most honorable thing an American can do.

Cool. Should be fun for him.

Get him to change his home of record to TX, AZ, or Florida so he can avoid state income tax.

Good for him.

I'm thinking about doing something like that as well later on.

They let Raider fans in the Army? They used to screen closer than that.

Good luck to him. It's good to have people like him who are ready, willing, and able to protect America and the market research industry.

Tell him thanks from all of us, RNR....

We owe him and all his brothers more than we can tell.

Wow. Good for you. I thought you were more of an artsy-type dude.

Must be something in the air...My nephew is going into Airborne somewhere around the end of May....Papers are signed already and he is just waiting to graduate....

i enlisted in the army at age 18 back in 1966...

best thing that could have happened to me at the time...

congratulations to your son, rnr... :toast:

Did you fight in Nam?

You say that as if you think the Airborne has no need for poets and dreamers. In World War II, the "Haiku talkers" were instrumental in sending coded messages during the Normandy invasion.

Get in your boats, men.
Shoot the Germans on the beach.
Liberate Europe.

Fight in it? Go Bo started it.

He is a great American. God bless him.

Phobia,

Unless they've changed it from 1999, MO didn't charge State Income Tax for military members.

Believe me, it was a shock in 2000 when I had to pay MD state tax the first time. :eek:

hooah.

Everyone knows Raider fans are natural born killers.

What an honorable thing to do. Good luck and God speed. I am humbled by people like that.

Some states, as long as an income isn't made in that state - they are tax exempt. NY was that way. BUT, if I had been stationed in NY, I would've had to pay taxes. Thankfully, I haven't been a "resident" of that state in over 10 years.

it is an honorable thing to do. Keep alert, and make others die for their country. Thank you.
