Thanks guys and gals for any info you can help me out with

His younger brother wants to enter the Army and fly helicopters so he is getting in touch with Jim.  Of course Jim is trying to get him excited on a real MOS, aka Ranger!

George W. Bush

I should point out, though, Ranger is a special skill, not an MOS--you can even be a chaplain and be a Ranger--Not Me though, that stuff is for people much younger than me

"...my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me." He added, after a pause, looking me full in the face: "That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave"

opps! Civie error.  I guess MOS would be 11b and Ranger would be the highly trained, lean, mean fighting machine.  My cousin(s), I have about 30 of them, just found out that Jim is 40 years old.  One comment was, "There is no way you can be as old as my dad and look like that!"

Good stuff and I'm glad your enjoying the 40 year old man

I just got back from vacation in Nashville, Tn. and found out my kid cousin, Chris is going to be doing his "third" tour in Iraq with the 3rd Stryker BCT, 5/20th out of Ft. Lewis, WA.  He's a Stryker driver and can't get enough of it, so he says.  He's also getting married for the first time before he transfers out.  No young ones yet! 

Hope the best for your baby cousin and mine, and prayers go out for their safe tour and return from the box!
