Proud Poppa Alert (vanity)

Forgive the vanity. My son just got back from taking the ASVAB for military service. This test attempts to measure aptitude and abilities for service. The highest possible score is 99. The lowest score for a marine corp officer is 74. He scored a 97. That's the highest score I've ever even heard of. So, proud poppa alert.

My son’s close friend just joined the Marines too. It is a fervent prayer that Trump becomes their C in C. In hindsight Bush was not a good one either. Forget Obama and Hillary.

That’s impressive, looks like Loki from the movie Thor. Your son is very talented. I can tell you this, whatever he decides to do in life, make sure he never stops using his artistic abilities.

I scored 98 in 1980, in Detroit.

I scored a 98 in 1980, in Detroit. The Air Force wanted me, but I took a job doing a yacht delivery, instead.
