Air Force Cadet?????

Well Justin and I went to the Air Force Recruiters office yesterday to sign his papers. We had all the necessary paperwork. However there was one problem. Somebody (his mother) laminated his Social Security card. They would not accept the card, so we had to go to the S. S. office and apply for another card. Once again this is our mother's fault she laminated mine. ( Ha ha) Anyway, once the new card comes in James' has to go and sign a permission form as well for Justin to join the Air Force. He is only 17 so he needs our permission. I tried to tell the recruiter my signature was enough but he didn't agree. Who do these people think they are the government? hmmm. Anyway the next step will be MEPS that is where you go and find out if you are physically fit enough to join the Air Force. My only worry is Justin had asthma as a young child but has not had any attacks in a long time. I think playing the trumpet for 6 years has really helps (just a thought). Some people say you can grow out of it however the doctor says no. But what does a doctor know? So I am on pins and needles waiting for Justin to go to MEPS and find out. Does the worry of a mother never end? Hope all is doing well. Take care. Love - Tina
