Good luck to him, hope he manages the training OK, it is a tough course.

Best of luck to him, hope he enjoys the training and stays safe at all times. Your son is going to miss him a lot I expect. My son has friends he has known since preschool - it's nice to see them hold on to friends so long.

My son told me the other day he was so fed up with work he was thinking of joining up but I told him I wouldn't sleep if he did that, think he was just getting stressed out cos his job is so boring and badly paid and they have messed up the bonuses yet again so not paid this month, only the basic wages.
I really don't think I could bear it if he joined up now, it's a such a worry for the parents when these young lads go to Afghanistan or other places like that.
