    Default Son becoming a paratrooper

    My 17 yr.old HS senior raised his hand for the Army's DEP on 11/4. He will be leaving for Ft.Benning in July for Infantry school and BAC(or BAT as it's called on his contract). He'll probably wind up in the 82d, but I guess 173d and 4/25 ID are still possibilities. Needless to say, his mom and I ARE VERY PROUD!!!!!

    P.S.>>NoWhereMan..I got an e-mail kicked back that I sent you about the above. If you're 'on the air" shoot me a line. Thanks!
