:rolleyes:

he's actually found him a kansas girl that he's pretty darn smitten over....any female that could convince my boy to eat lettuce is probably going to be around for awhile :)

[Scott D]

best of luck to jk2. it's kinda eerie, the day he heads overseas, my stepdaughter heads to basic training with the AF.

[BeetDigger]

My cousin's son did two stints there. During one stint, he had to fire on some insurgents who would not halt and were charging a compound. He took out a few of them. He was feeling a little strange afterward. Then his sargeant came up to him and said "you did what you were trained to do, job well done."

Good luck to him JK and may he come home soon, safe and sound.

[jk the sooner fan]

well, he's infantry.....the pointy tip of the spear and a part of the "troop surge".....so he'll be kicking in doors and the like

thanks for all the well wishes......i can tell you its tough, but i am very proud of him

[colleyvillesooner]

He'll be in our prayers, Prouda Pappa.

[ultimatesooner1]

good luck to him, my cousin went over there with the army for about a year back in 03/04 and just went back to work for KBR/Haliburton for a year

[Melo]

Yea yea, I have a nice boy, too. Just 'cause youre a diet dont mean you cant read the recipe!

[Boffingham]

Tell him if he needs help, he can always call on the F-15E's. Good luck to him.

[Howzit]

One of the "life memories" I have is of my father saying goodbye to me when I went to basic training. That pales in comparison to sending your son off to war.

I can't imagine what is going through your head, Jon, I would guess it ranges from tears of pride to chronic angst.

My best to all of you, tell him I'm buying when he gets back.

[jk the sooner fan]

more tears than i expected, thats for sure

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

:(

Must be very hard. But think of it this way: he'll be the anti-SicEm when he gets back.

:kelvin:

[sooneron]

God speed and safe home to JK2.

[SoonerGirl06]

My thoughts and prayers are with him.

God Bless Our Military and Their Families!

[BajaOklahoma]

Thoughts, prayers and a huge thank you to JK2 and family.

[XingTheRubicon]

Best of luck to your son, and I hope he realizes how many millions of us deeply appreciate what he's about to do.

[Soonrboy]

Prayers for #2 while he is there, and especially prayers for a quick coming home.

[TUSooner]

Prayers.
Thanks.
Admiration.

Stay strong, Pop, and keep the faith.

[Okla-homey]

Infantryman's Prayer

Almighty God, whose will it is that we be leaders of men.

Hear us as we come to You for guidance in this awesome
responsibility.

Let us never forget our duty in the men whom lead. May we instill in them the qualities of loyalty, integrity and duty.

Grant us the patience in dealing with the mistakes of our fellow man.

Let us never forget that no man is perfect, but that perfection for fragile humans is trying each day to be better than the day before.

Give us courage, O Lord, in the face of danger; keep us pure in heart, clean in mind, and strong in purpose.

Remind us that wisdom is not gained in an hour, a day, or in a year, but it is a process that continues all the days of our lives.

Keep ever before us our goal, which is not to perpetrate war, but to safeguard peace and preserve your great gift to man, Freedom.

May You always be near to guide us in decisions, comfort us in our failures, and keep us humble in our successes. We ask Your divine blessings and leadership as we discharge the honor and responsibility of leading men in the service of our country.

Walk close to us always, our Father that we may not fall.


AMEN

[Jerk]

I'll keep him in my prayers...

Hopefully, God still listens mine.

[olevetonahill]

more tears than i expected, thats for sure
