This is what real Trooper does , we adapt , improvise , overcome , and succeed . Awesome way to be there for his son ! There is nothing better than to hear your father say " I'm proud of you son ! " Those few words he will carry for the rest of his life .

LOL - I gotta remember that one.

You always want your children to do better than you,this is a perfect example of it,as a parent,you could not be prouder,to have a son or daughter to do better and excel,this is a great thing

What a proud father, so cute.

That's just the COOLEST thing ever. Congratulations to your son, yes I cried a bit

Tradition is so important to every culture. This one was extra good because of the love and support from dad and family. Dad almost broke his face with his smile.

What's really crazy... I recognized the room the father was standing in. I was there during 2010 to 2011 and I eye witnessed the sad day several Americans were killed there.

How emotional, may God bless all of our soldiers.

Very proud father right there! I was at my son first salute. One of my proudest days.

Lots of respect for this moment. You can't put a price on a father seeing his son stand before him as a good man.. God I can't wait to see my boy when he finishes boot.

Man those were some hearty handshakes

A respectful tip of the Stetson from an old cavalry corporal to the entire Rader family. I hope you all are safe, well, and happy.

Just being able to see your own son comission is cool! But the father being the first one he got to salute is amazing!! there are folks that live for such moments!

RIght, the father did initiate the salute, which is regulation. I am aware of what you're talking about but the father was an enlisted MSgt saluting his son who was deemed a commissioned officer. There's nothing wrong there.

Craig Morgan Thanks for answering my questions about the hats! I have wondered why they are so different. Now I know what they are, but why? (I know it's a good reason and they look great!)

Gotta be kinda weird that if they ever met while on duty the dad would need to salute him and call him sir

Outstanding, congratulations to both of you!

Fantastic Commissioning of your son Sir. What a proud moment! Above and beyond in putting it all together!🇺🇸

One very moving video 👍 Thank you both for your service🇺🇸 Gods Blessings with you both Amen Ret, U.S.Army😇🇺🇸

Tears I'm sure we're flowing . Thank you for your service .

How nice to raise such a great kid. God Bless.

I now how that feels when you over Sea,miss your Family a lot but we push on with the Mission

Proud dad. Thank you both for your service 🇺🇸

What a great father with a very proud son.....Good luck to both!

Nice to see him so happy.

One big happy family! I tried to get my son into both the Naval Academy and NROTC. Got into NROTC and then dropped out about 2 months in. I guess our dreams can't be pushed on our kids. Congratulations 8+ years later!

If that was me, I couldn't be prouder to be the first to salute my son and call him sir.

That was awesome a proud moment for father and son

That was just OUTSTANDING!

How cool is that? I could feel is pride in watching that ceremony!

Such a great rich moment!

Life time moment for a proud father and son

Good job dad! God Bless America

I’m proud of you son brought me a couple ears

We are so proud of our cadet’s performance in the International Rifle Postal Match! Georgia Military College's Team 1 earned 2nd place with a score of 1385. Thank your for this video!!!!

I could tell the father is really proud

That was awesome!

I remember mine like it was yesterday- RiP CSM Beauchamp.

I get this. I was commissioned as the first officer in the family after my mom, stepdad and dad were all enlisted Soldiers (as was I). It's a real transition.

This was super cool!

Outstanding! Hand salute ,

I'M SALUT for You ,Thank you for your Service **

First Team!

Was regular Army early to mid 60's when a massive re orginization and equiptment and uniform change was happening from uniforms, equiptment, weapons and vehicles. That army is ncient now from all aspects. Im glad the present Army is far advanced as we were compared to the one of WW2 and Korea...and certaily Viet Nam era.

Awesome:)

His smile 😊 look's like jim carry 👍

Im tryna do the same thing but my dad is a captain so not so easy to get over😂

Gratulation from Germany from German Army ,SALUT , Thank you for your Service **

Heh, my dad swore me into the army, he was a USCG Lieutenant, it was shortly after 9/11, so he had the pride to do that, was there at my graduation... Gave him a salute.

Thats the University of North Georgia! Senior military college.

1st Cav! Hoorah.

NOW THAT'S WORTH SKILL IN +🐾♥️🐾♥️🇺🇸☘

Hey, it's my bro-in-law!

I luv all the military personnel

Shame on those internet providers.

Excellent. A commission is earned by a very hard journey, despite what Hollywood says. As a retired Australian serviceman, I know how difficult it is, not all aspirants succeed. Our two sons served, one still does, and he's worked frequently with you Yanks, both here in Australia, Hawaii, Nevada, (Nellis), and one or two rather 'naughty' places that Independence Day would be familiar with, NO!, don't go stupid!, it's just about modern stuff, nothing to do with Aliens, that's all pure dipshit bullshit, fantasyland crap, except for the little known town in southern Tasmania, but, that's another post. I know a fair bit of how the Father feels, I felt the same, as my sons graduated. Their Mother was so, so proud, as only a Mother could be. As only a Mother has the unique right to be.
