The Pences' eldest child is son Michael J. Pence, Jr., who stuck close to his family's Indiana stomping grounds when he attended Purdue University. After graduation, he jumped into military service, commissioning as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2015 at age 23, reported The Associated Press. Junior then pursued aviator training at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. and was subsequently stationed in Mississippi at the Naval Air Station Meridian with Training Air Wing One.
What followed was no doubt a busy time for the young officer. His parents reportedly visited him for Thanksgiving following the 2016 election, and in December 2016, he reportedly wed his college sweetheart, Sarah Whiteside, in a very small ceremony at the governor's mansion in Indiana. The following month, he attended his father's swearing-in as vice president. In October 2017, the Pence family reportedly gathered for a delayed wedding reception to celebrate Sarah and Mike Jr. at a state park in Indiana.
Fun fact: The newlyweds reportedly met in a political science class at Purdue. How appropriate.
