People Hard To Let Go....

Hard To Let Go.... · 11:21 AM

My youngest son...after 22 years in the Army (Lt Col - US Army) he is still doing what he did when he was just a little kid...playing Army games......I guess it will never end.

Some people never grow up Rupert and sometimes that's not a bad situation.

Your son played "real" Army games for years, so he knows what he is doing for sure. Thank him for his service to our country. Bob

Yes I know some people who got out of the Armed Forces but never really got out of the armed Forces! By that I mean that still live their lives in a militarized fashion and feel lost without that pattern in their lives. I'm glad I went the other way when I got out!

Thanks guys! I have to admit....I played with the toys too! My little grandsons have lots of neat toys, and it is fun, no doubt about it!

My son is trying to adjust to civilian life, and it is not easy. After 22 years....18 of them out of country....America is a strange place for him. Heck, it is a strange place for me too, so I can understand how he feels! He is still young, and can have a new career if he chooses, and will adapt.......I'm old and don't get a second chance, but intend to enjoy what is left of every day.

Regards!

There are still fun days ahead...right?
