Your wife is right! He'll have an opportunity to learn, and he's willing to do so...
Now my redneck neighbor informed us his son, K-Fed II, was joining the Army. Since the hubby and I are both active duty USAF (but we workin a joint environment), we knew the possibility of homeboy graduating Basic was pretty slim. K-Fed II is not a bright crayon- so his job (if he graduates) will be Infantry. Since it is almost October (Army basic training is 8 weeks) and K-Fed II went in then end of June, we know something is up. However, not to hurt Redneck Neighbor's feelings, we have never called this out. (Redneck Neighbor does insist his son is so awesome he will be Special Forces- more like "Very Special Forces"....) The last update we heard was that K-Fed II had been washed back... Well, we know the Army and they take anything with a pulse. We do wish K-Fed II to succeed, since he is 22 years old and both he and his wife are living with momma and daddy...
You have to give the neighbor's son credit here for trying to leave the house and learn something. Help prepare him as best as you can!
