    Epilogue

    Thank you, sir. I'm working on it. I'm working on it.
  2. You have no idea how often I think of you. Since the next book stars CJ and Owen, the political commentary will be more frequent. And for a short span, CJ and others will take pot shots at Trump. I always try to guess what YOUR reaction would be. However, if you notice, I don't mention Biden by name. I don't even specify the president's gender! In our divided, resentful country, I fear some crazy will try to murder our president. It could have been Harris who speaks at Ritch's graduation. And I'll have you know in the next book CJ tells someone he agreed with some of Trump's policies but not him as a person.

    Thank you, Parker. For your continued support and your invaluable assistance. You've helped bring my boys to life.

    You make me blush. How about a story set mostly in Mexico? New locations, new characters, and different adventures. What the hell. Here's a snippet of what's coming next.

    Epilogue

    There was no other point to end the story so... I almost cut it off when the hats flew, but decided a little epilogue would help clarify a couple of points. Glad I included it.

    Greedy SOB LOL You realize this is the longest story (word count and chapters) since the one with CJ's graduation and Liebe's birth? Next one may be even longer.

    And those vignettes will be frequent. Since he's family, Ritch will be part of as many events as the military (or the author) grant him leave to participate. SPOILER - He'll be assigned to an overseas AFB as soon as he gets his first promotion.

    Epilogue

    I always planned on Ritch and Lucy marrying and having kids. Hell, I revealed that in HTTC, but I thought it was important to Ritch's growth he slut around for a few years. Let's see how fast they tie the knot and start spitting out kids.

    Thanks, Clancy. Life's slowly returning to normal, and we'll be rejoicing when enough people are vaccinated our risks are minimized. Starting tomorrow, I'll concentrate on the next story so when my editor's ready we can push through chapters as quickly as possible.

    Have I mentioned how much I value your reading and commenting? THANK YOU!

    I'm bummed too! Wish I could take a couple of weeks off then start posting the next story, but alas, it's far from being ready. I'm sure time will move faster now we're no longer locked in.

    Epilogue

    Thank you my friend. The military will determine what Ritch will do and where, but I plan on being there for the important stuff.

    Epilogue

    Thanks, Terry. I will definitely not be. We'll start with revisiting some events until the main series catches up to the timeline. Last we saw CJ outside this story was in 2021, so we have 3 years to go before Ritch has some new adventures.

    LMAO! Your first time being first? I could swear it's happened before. I smiled whenever you mentioned something as it compared to your experience. Glad I was able to bring back good memories.
  15. Thank you, Clancy. The characters have taken on a life of their own over the years. You're not alone in imagining how things could be if they were real.
  16. Thanks, bud
  17. Because I did not want to stray from Ritch's POV, there are details I couldn't use. Like the dads meeting Will's parents. In future stories, I'll revisit event's from CJ's perspective. That starts with Christmas 2021 in Vail. My goal with both brothers has been to show them as individuals partially shaped by the fathers. I'm glad that comes through. It felt good to write a president with a sense of humor again.
  18. I guess I did my job well. It's a great compliment when what I write moves readers.
  19. Thanks, bud. This was a fun story to write, particularly the mix between good people and jerks. We'll periodically return to La Casita

    Epilogue

    The cadets would never see those hats again. Why bother retrieving them when they were not be part of any uniform they would wear in the Air Force? Pandemonium ensued. While graduates hugged and sought out friends and family, a mass of children swarmed the field to collect the discarded caps. “Look, Uncle Ritch. I got one.” Liebe proudly held her prize out for her uncle. “That’s awesome, munchkin. Did you go out there by yourself?” “Nah, mate.” Owen held the delighted girl in
  21. “I hate shaving. I’m considering converting.” Joel looked funny with blood soaked pieces of toilet paper stuck to his face where he had nicked himself. “You need something better than those cheap-ass, disposable shavers, bro.” Ritch and the others in The Wing had allowed their beards to grow while in California. The day before returning to the Academy, all had taken a trimmer to their facial hair, before using a blade to scrape away the remaining stubble. Joel’s complaint was not new. “And

    @BlueWindBoy LMAO CJ's size whatever Wescos could end up inside Chipper. Subtlety is not one of CJ's strengths.
  23. We may see Brock again before that spinoff I mentioned.
  24. Brock already showed up in Cadet. Their visit to DC I plan to write about in a future spinoff, but it'll be a while. Carson's story will be one of the last ones I write about The Squad. So far, all the spinoffs start in 2020, and that's what I plan to do with Carson's.

    A lot of my drug information these days comes from one of my niece's boyfriends. He's finishing at pharmacist school and shared some of what he's learned. His rotations begin this fall in a college town, and the effects of street drugs' has been part of his curriculum. Opiods are our friends! There've been a couple of instances in my life it it wasn't for a couple of vicodins I could have killed somebody.
