<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Mine was when I was leaving my parents right before getting shipped off for the Army. It was late August of 2001. My parents drove me to the airport, where I would be flying out to Oklahoma to get to Fort Sill. I was rather calm in the car, as I had been preparing for this for almost 2 years. It was basically like any other ride to the airport for me. But when I got out to get into the airport, that's when things changed. First it was my mom. She was crying, which did make me tear up a bit. I hate to see her cry, as she is a very happy person. But it really hit me when I saw my dad, a manly man who I had never seen shed a tear, was crying when he came to give me a hug. The waterworks burst open at that point, and I had to walk into the airport crying like a blubbering buffoon.
