My son is practically on a first name basis with 'his' recruiter. I think between us we have talked him into finishing school - he will be better qualified in every way to serve his country with a high school diploma. He just is impatient and wants to go NOW. He's in the Naval Sea Cadets and going to summer camp. Last summer he did Master at Arms (high point pistol marksman with a perfect 240 score) and Port Security training, this summer he's going to be an Assistant Instructor for Recruit Training. He wants to serve a hitch and then go to college either in ROTC or the GI Bill, or some other plan, then go back in as a career officer. And this is a kid who has never planned 10 minutes ahead in his life. It's all good.

My prayers are with your boy. It's going to be kids like him that will eventually keep the Britney Spears/Lindsey Lohan oxygen thieves in line. Just when I think our youth has gone down the toilet, I read about someone like your son, and breathe a collective sigh of relief. Good on ya, Mom!
