Glad you mentioned someone besides yourself. My older brother joined the Air Force at 15 to do something for our country. He had his 16th birthday at the Greenland AFB. He grew up in a hurry but when the Iraqi War broke out, he said if he were a lot younger, he would volunteer to go again. He was in the Korean conflict, went through all the atomic bomb testing and has the many health problems to go with that kind of exposure. I do not know what the groups are in the AF but most of his are dead from that exposure. He is my hero.

Your brother is a true military hero but...from a personal point of view...he's a true brother and hero to his sister. That's beautiful. God bless you both and hope he continues to live a long time.

My Dad joined in 51 and stayed until 71. Three of my brothers and one sister also joined. Between the six of us we covered all four branches. To my knowledge not one of us regrets it. My Dad says he wishes he would've stayed for another 10.

Semper Fi!
