Not Exactly RV Related except that he really enjoys riding in my -6
My Grandson just announced that he has joined the U S Air Force!
I couldn't be prouder!
Of course as an Air Force Veteran myself, I'm slightly biased

Seems like it is RV related to me!
USAF gave me the training to have a career in aviation and that career gave me the means to get me into the RV world!
Congrats Mel and my best of luck goes to your grandson for a great decision!
Regards,

Air Force son
Thirty years and change after my commissioning ceremony at Medina I've never regretted my decision. Today I envy the kids joining. Congratulations to your grandson for his decision, and to you for your example.

Not initially. Doesn't yet have his degree.
However, he is talking "career" with OCS in the not too distant future.

Good reason
to be proud indeed. USAF helped me get near the things I loved... planes that is! Bad eyes kept me on the ground but I never regret working on F-4 Phantoms! What did you do Mel?
