Make sure he is actually ready to go. Seriously. I just saw one of my best friends off two days ago to Afghanistan and he was terribly unprepared. The military really doesn’t do a very good job of it.
For the scavanger hunt, how about searching for extra rifle magazines, better goggles, gloves, socks, etc. than what is issued? With perhaps note cards or small toys to be handed in for the real thing? I suppose somewhere there is a website that lists useful personal items as well as better-quality military gear?
not ready how???
I mean emotionally- I think he is good...he and my son spent Memorial Day with us....my son played with his sisters all day...he sat with me...we really talked, about family, God, his troubled past, etc...honestly... he said all the things to me I wish my own son said....he is wise and mature beyond his years....
he worries about his team a bit....some drill went not well...what can I do????
plz don’t hold back— freepmail if ya need to— let me know what I can do for him...
