He chose Bragg due to the Infantry opportunities there. Perhaps when he gets there in a year or so he can look up your son to learn the ropes.
By the way, he’s a huge car nut too. Does all his own work on his 1969 Mercury Cougar. This year as a senior he’s able to have it at West Point. Here it is up at Camp Buckner, where the cadets have to move their cars to for home football games.

Awesome. What a great looking car! Feel free to send me a PM when he is heading to Bragg or if he has any questions before and I can connect them if he would like. My son posted to Bragg in April and may or may not stay there long term. That will be determined as he moves through the school he starts in December. Lots of milestones await. Ranger school graduation was amazing. Just be prepared to see him looking like he was in a concentration camp for a year. My son lost 40 of his 175 lbs in 4 months
