It's strange imagining Austin in a blue military uniform, rather than a green one. He's been "Go Army" for as long as I can remember. Maybe not enlisted the whole time, but definately supportive and even anxious to go back. Yesterday, however, he enlisted in the Air Force. Actually the Air National Guard. I'm so proud of him; we've been knocking this around for months (or years, actually) and finally made a decision recently - together. He enters as a Staff Sergeant with a commitment of six years ahead of him, with eight years already under his belt towards retirement. How could we give that up? I guess we're in it for the long haul. And if that makes Austin happy, it makes me happy.
