Proud "Dad"

[Deltona_Dave]

My wife with our "adopted son" at his Basic Training graduation.
He is the boyfriend of our daughter. Spent more time at our house over the past 2 years than at his own place. Good student in H.S. (JROTC, NHS, Honor Student). We have pretty much accepted him as our own. Wants to marry my Daughter in a few years.

"A" school AIT is 30+ weeks for EOD. After that, he wants to pursue his college degree and go OCS in a few years.

"Dad" has to stay home and work. 3 four legged kids to tend to and I have no alternate at work to cover when I am gone.....

The pink ride is not mine, belongs to the Agency. He would drive it though. My wife, mother inlaw, and my sister have survived breast cancer. My dad survived prostate cancer. D's mom is a survivor also.

Congrats! Thank him for his service.

Sounds like a good guy!

 

[QuietPortage]

He sounds like a motivated and stand-up individual with a real plan. I wonder if there's anyone else on this forum who could take his lead...

Congratulations. Fair winds and following seas to Mr Stone.

If you had posted this anywhere else on the internet, people would have asked for your daughter's picture! We are all above that.

Here is a picture of my daughter Makenzie with her BF for all you inquiring minds. Hands off!

She will also graduate HS in June with an Associates degree from a local college. Our county allows Honors/AP students to enroll in a local college during their Junior year.

Great looking couple! You must be very pleased as well as proud!

Where's EOD (nice signing bonus for USAF) training located?

That's fantastic. I wish that was available when I was in high school.

Congratulations and God's richest blessings!

(BTW - I thought the first picture was the daughter).

Is that your wife in the first picture ? She doesn't look much older than your daughter, she looks like your daughter's sister.

You guys are too kind. This is a great board to hang out on.
