    My GPS brought me here by mistake and I had to do a u-turn but the entrance is very beautiful…read more Thank you very much for your service and God bless America.

    The day my son left for Boot Camp was one of the saddest days on record in our home. It was…read moreemotional beyond any other event EVER as friends, family and neighbors came to say goodbye drenched in tears. We barely had time to celebrate his high school graduation when he was being picked up by his recruiters and whisked off to a new life. There is nothing like seeing you child leave on a new adventure filled with both excitement and uncertain danger. My heart still beats out of my chest whenever caller ID shows an incoming call from his home base area code. I wanted him to choose a safe Army career as far from conflict as possible. One that might keep him out of direct combat. As we argued back and forth @ MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station), he held his ground and chose Infantry Airborne. Well, sometime during bootcamp he got introduced to the idea of becoming a Ranger and for the next few months, he went all out to fulfill this goal... and he reached it. He became a United States Army Ranger last Fall. Fast forward to today, where he has now completed all the requirements of becoming a Ranger including one of the most important... Ranger Leadership School. 13 plus grueling weeks of combat training in the worst of conditions where you are expected to maintain mental focus even when physically exhausted. Hurley Hill stadium was filled with proud parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, offsprings and loved ones as 177 Soldiers earned their Ranger qualified badge today. "I'm the" ... brother, dad, mom, wife, daughter and son of a Ranger shirts were everywhere and the pride for our country was incredible as Hall of Fame veteran Rangers stood to be honored during the ceremony. To my surprise, ALL of the armed forces divisions can take this leadership training, including Navy, Airforce and Marines, as well as NATO allies from other countries. We saw soldiers from Finland and the Middle East here as well. All in all, I have enjoyed the many visited we've had to Fort Benning over these last two years of watching our son fulfill his dream. I have not been to very many Military Installations, but Benning is far more that I ever expected a Military Base to be. I thought it would be small and filled with tanks, bunkers and marching soldiers like in the movie Stripes. Although you will see that in various places, largely it just seems like a normal small town with grocery stores, malls, homes, gas stations, barber shops and restaurants just like any other town. Well, just like any other town that has heavily armed checkpoints... lol Posting pictures of Military Bases is discouraged, so I have very few pics to share. However, I did want to show the absolutely beautiful bridge that was just recently completed as you approach the first checkpoint off I-185: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fort-benning-fort-benning?select=nXdA0X12KA1JBumNkVgxsg#EVk1-Jy2YcgVD-qaU3PLyw Fort Benning receives 5 stars for being a top facility in producing world class soldiers... one of which I am extremely proud of!
