Introduction - Richard

Post by Astrood »

Hello, my name is Richard. I am a 46 year old optometrist. I am the proud father of two great kids. My son is a soldier who should be starting RASP in the next few weeks. I think my son made a great choice when he joined the Army, but I have to admit that I am also afraid for him. I view this forum as a sort of support group. Thank you Rangers, soldiers, and veterans for what you are doing and what you have done. You make us proud.
