Please thank your son for his service to our country and to you for raising someone with enough sense of purpose and moral obligation to want to serve.

Sir, welcome to the site and thanks for posting an intro. Let me know if/when your son graduates from RIP, so I can change your title to "Proud Ranger Father." :wink:

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.

Welcome to the site. I'm really upset over this. Your son is going to RIP without our help? How the hell can he do that? I'm totally surprised that someone actually made it all the way to RIP without consulting us.

I'm proud of him too Dad. Your son sounds like he's got a head on his shoulders. I look forward to calling him RANGER!!
