    USA Proud dad!

    My oldest son graduated from the University West Florida and Commissioned into the USAF this past December. He resigned that Commission this past Friday. He then Re-Commissioned into the new Space Force! Now he is headed off to Vandenberg AFB, California for training starting 1, June.

    He would have been in USAF, Space Operations Command. From what I understand his career field, 13S Space Operations Officer, is what transitioned to the new Space Force.

    That is cool, he is in on the ground floor. Should be interesting work. Let us know if he sees any aliens at Area 51.
