That had to be hard! Did ya'll go at the same time?

I know a lot of this is pure selfishness on my part. I want him close enough to get to in a day. I am proud of him for wanting to serve, but after losing his mom I'm terrified that something bad could happen...

No. I'm the oldest by 5 years. Youngest brother is 18 months younger than middle brother. I went Navy, they were Army like most on Dad's side. Grandpa on that side was proud that 8 of his grandkids served. Some of that is that's it's a small town and military service helped people get out. We were encouraged by Dad from a young age as it gave more time to decide what we wanted to do
