    Hi Jim, I love fishing and hunting. My kid is graduating bootcamp in two weeks and will head to A-school as a HN. Has your kid been an Hn very long?

    Hey Jim, Congrats on your boy's graduation in January, I'm sure you are proud. Any word of wisdom I can pass along to my boy before he starts? I'm trying to get as much information as possible. Pendleton Area is very nice. Can't beat the weather!

    Thanks, Rich

    Congrats to you too Jim. I may be leaning on you as a resource as Nick progresses through Corpsman. I thought he started A school this week, but turns out it is a couple weeks out. Only a two week spacing between grad and A school.
    My current position actually is Assistant Chief & Fire Marshal, but seems I wear multiple hats! My oldest boy is a Firefighter and a Paramedic Specialist as well, so I guess it was natural for Nick to take that route too. =) Can't say I'm disappointed by any means. Can't wait for his Christmas break too.
    Talk to you soon. TC
