\nMy son, LTAmerica, just got promoted to Army Captain. I couldn\u2019t be prouder. He\u2019s in Arizona, and was selected to be made an Intelligence Agent, as well. The \u201cAgent\u201d part is difficult to explain, except that in addition to his officer rank, he also will have a federal badge and gun.<\/p>\n

\tWhen each of my sons joined the military, I told them to work hard, volunteer when no one else does, and obey orders but use your brain (after Vietnam, officers can\u2019t just blindly obey orders). If an order is illegal, speak your objection on the record. If the order remains, then choose your career or your integrity. I also warned them that 2 things can end an otherwise successful military career: an incompetent Commanding Officer (who never seem to know they\u2019re incompetent) or a bad President. The new CAPTAmerica has survived both with colors, hallelujah. Now he has excellent COs and a great POTUS.<\/p>\n

After a couple of years in the Army as a young Lt–I got out prior to being promoted to Captain–Your advice is right on. It is comforting to know we have someone watching our back 24\/7. <\/p>\n

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. Your son was great in class – following our betting that his Dad didn’t do at first and proved to his Dad that our betting works \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n

\tBut important we have a brave young man as Doc said watching our backs!<\/p>\n

\tGood luck to him!<\/p>\n
