I don't know because I and my family could not be there so one of his friends family members had to pin his jump wings on him which made his mom sad not to be there for her son. Great news by the way my nephew just passed his test for Ranger training doing the dreaded 2 mile run with a full combat load in 15 minutes (Averaging a mile every 7 minutes) he was worried he would not be able to do it but he did it in just under 14 minutes (Me CHEERING in the restaurant when we got the cell phone call and PROUD of him).

The thing is that he is thinking about going into the Green Berets after a while now I know they are tough when only 3 out of every 100 get the Green Beret if he does so more power to him I am as proud of him as if he were my own son seeing how at this point in time I don't have any kids.My brother (his other uncle 2nd out of 3 me being last age wise but as the old saying goes saving the best for last) jokingly kids around saying that our nephew can sing I wanna be an Airborne Ranger!
