Well it's all said and done. He leaves for Benning August 23.

    At the MEPs office the counselor told him the sign-up bonus and college fund would be half of what the recruiter had advised.

    Three recruiters jumped in, and had a heated "discussion" with the counselor. Counselor backed down and the full $20k/$70k amount was agreed upon.

    I will give further details when they happen.

    Your mileage may vary.

    It is nice to see this country is still producing a few real men. I wish him and your family the best


    War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
