Son is on the longest airplane flight he's ever had, to his first duty station. Which'll be fun: landing in a foreign country to start actually employing his new skills.
Actually left here yesterday. His mom has family in Dallas, so they spent the night with them; they hadn't seen him in years, and that way didn't have to worry about travel difficulties getting to the airport today. I had to work, so couldn't be there. Would have been nice, but I think he was a little glad the crowd didn't get too big for the sendoff.
It'll be a couple of days while he gets to the unit, quarters taken care of, gear issued, etc. before he'll have time to send back a mailing address. Right now my parents are glad they finally got a pc, as they'll be able to get e-mail from him.
Right now I only have one worry: how good a time can you have with a numb ass for about ten hours?
