Yes, I got some pictures of the wee one, but was so hip deep in helping my Mom move here that I never sent an acknowledgement to the proud parents.

The best technical schools around and the experience is priceless.

In the Navy, at 23, I managed a shop of 12 men and was responsible for multimillion dollar electronics equipment.

20 Years later, I use the what I learned in the Navy every day.

You do know I was only joking around? I suggested to my kid to consider the Navy or Cooast Guard. He's a darn good scuba diver and swimmer

I use some of what I learned way back in the Army these days too...except for the shooting down Russian military aircraft training part

I knew you were joking. My Dad and two of my uncles were Marines. They kidded me about the Navy, but secretly they all said, "talk to the Navy".

Good luck to him.
