I had to go back and rewatch one of my favorite California Kid videos on You tube.

If you look real close starting at 3:50 you can watch the engine magically transform from a small block Ford (not available in 1958) to a small block Chevy and back again.

He's taking basic training at Fort Jackson outside of Columbia, South Carolina. After boot he goes to Fort Lee south of Richmond, Virginia to learn how to weld. I think that is great. Once he becomes proficient in welding maybe he can help Ian put the Mustang back together.
I am truly blessed as I have 2 grandsons and my oldest daughter on active duty and my youngest daughter spent 6 years in the US Navy as a Corpsman.

my great nephew was sworn in this year. sadly they omitted part of the oath .

Sadly there are many serving that shouldn't be. MEPS had my grandson's SSN wrong as well as my daughter's middle initial. Her being a Colonel helped remedy that situation but those types of mistakes are due to incompetence, IMHO.

pc liberal bs . they omitted "enemies both foreign and domestic ".
