Proud Papa Moment

[Greg Jones]

Well, this took about 8 months longer than expected due to COVID and other logistics, but my youngest son’s diploma arrived here today. He has a degree in physics from The Citadel, Military College of South Carolina and has been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. He will be assigned in May to the Spangdahlem Air Base Germany. His mother and I are VERY proud of what he has accomplished!

Great news @Greg Jones ! Very impressive!

 

[sdynak]

Awesome!! Congrats!! Very proud moment indeed !

 

[RattleR]

A proud moment for sure. A lot of work goes into it as well. Now he is moving to his next step and that is service to our county, another proud moment! Wow, maybe it’s a night to let someone else cook, unless that can’t match the home cookin’

Congratulations, @Greg Jones! You have every reason to be proud. And, thanks to your son for his service too. Defending our nation and our freedom is a high calling and we’re grateful for those willing to serve.

Congratulations to your son for his accomplishment, and to you for raising a brilliant and hardworking son! I was born on Wright-Patterson AB, U.S.A.F headquarters. GO AIR FORCE!

Congrats to your son and more importantly, to you as parents. If it is true that it takes a village to raise a child, it takes long nights, hard work, meticulous planning, and a lot of prayers to graduate from the Citadel. Even bigger, to do it with a physics degree. Thank him in advance for his dedication and service to our country. My father did 32 years active duty USAF, 4 tours of Vietnam, won just about every medal he could be awarded short of the Purple Heart (that you really don’t win), and he is now doing his “final tour of duty” resting in Arlington. I was born at Travis and we PCS’d to over 9 bases before I left home for college.

Nice! I know Wright-Patt well, but obviously not as well as you. Here’s my son on a visit there in 2007.

@Greg Jones that's incredible and you should be proud. Congrats my friend.

 

[Greg Jones]

Thanks Mike! Jeannette took the diploma today to have it framed. The diploma is actually real sheepskin! Leave it to The Citadel to stay old school, even with their diplomas.
