It's time for the next generation to take the next step and become full patch members of the Phantom Bastards MC.

This time it's bittersweet for me because these boys have grown up right in front of me before proving to each and every one of us that they have what it takes to become a member.

None of us went easy on them through their Prospecting period and they took everything we threw their way. The hardest part is knowing the day after they patch in, they'll be moving to Pine View with Vault and Valor. These boys want to forge their own paths in life and get away from the men who raised them so they don't live in their shadow.

It's up to us as dads to ensure they leave knowing they have our full support and that we want what's best for them. Even if that means leaving us all behind to start their own lives, traditions, and take the next steps that will continue to propel them forward.
