The best thing about succeeding at hard objectives is that it makes you appreciate the accomplishment. To you, your family and your son, well done. He should take an even strain, not try to gauge his progress by the inevitable highs or lows.
Bless him for his willingness to serve.

The combat MOS folks just are what they are, thank god: It is who they are who they want to try and become in a larger sense in the military.
