Becoming a Soldier - Jason's History

His Ur-Opa (Great-Grandfather) Schumann somewhere in Russia (WWII, POW)
His Ur-Opa Jutzi at his wedding (yes, they had to get married in uniform and had to have the bandana on the arm. (Germany does have a draft and during WWII all had to serve)
Hid Dad, finally one in the U.S. Air Force. Served 20 years and retired. Flew C-130's and misses it)
His Cousin Daniel got drafted and served his time in the German Army also (hey, Daniel is younger but didn't go by choice)(2004-2005)
 
And, now, finally, here is Jason! We are waiting to get a real official looking picture. This one was taken with his cell phone. Jason joined the Texas National Guard and is currently in training at Fort Jackson, S.C.
Yeah, TANG!!!
