My father served for thirty years until he finally retired after my junior year of high school. We moved every three years and I really enjoyed the life of a military brat.

My brother was in the AF for five years...did the whole ROTC thing in college. My SIL just got out of the AF about a year ago and she was a JAG officer. I was on AF ROTC scholarship when I first got to college for electrical engineering. After my father's death my sophomore year, however, I couldn't do something for the rest of my life that I would hate and I switched my major to Veterinary Sciences. I had planned to go back into ROTC, but I developed asthma (I started having lung issues my freshmen year) and could not return. It is truly a wonderful lifestyle and I pray that everything goes well for your son-in-law.

On an interesting note, my father is buried at Arlington and it makes me so proud everytime I see all the men and women that served for their country.
