Rev Willy Dunkum, SASS # 61027 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Its been a dream of my oldest son since he entered the Air Force to become an officer. He's always been a grease monkey kind of guy and the military shaped his life. He just got promoted to Sr Master Sergeant and has yet to sew it on. He woke me up this morning with a phone call after returning from his latest TDY to Kuwait to tell me he's been selected for OTS to become an Air Traffic Control Officer. Hard work, diligence to duty and persistence pays off. He's a credit to my family, his brothers, and his men. I'm saving his cowboy guns in my safe till he comes home. He thinks he needs to celebrate with another purchase.... Rev (Bustin' my buttons this morning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sounds like he'll be taking a cut in pay, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
