The potential Vice President currently has a son serving in the USMC. 1st Lt Michael Pence graduated from Purdue University and completed The Basic School at Quantico, Virginia back in the fall. The younger Pence is now in primary flight training at NAS Pensacola with TRAWING 5.
Thanks for your service Michael, enjoy flight school, and good luck with those instrument hops!
