Wait a minute! Does that mean he’s going to start jumping in here and correcting me every time I’m wrong? Just kidding. Congrats, Mountainbike. Hope you’re celebrating. And I also hope your son stays out of harm’s way while he’s in the Navy. ---

Congrats, MountainBike. And a heartfelt “Thank-You” to Your son. As one who “did 20” in the USAF, it’s comforting to know that our nation’s military still has an attraction for our youngsters. Once again, congrats! ---

Great for him MB! And for you too! Just remember, once they learn how to take care of the vehicles in the military, they bring it back with them. And it’s something he’ll always have. I also wish to thank your son for taking this step in his life, to serve our country, to keep it free. So how far is your belly button sticking in and out?
