[Old Student]

My youngest just started high school. At age 12. Turned 13 the week after school started. Wants to be an aeronautical engineer. My oldest is still at home, and may never leave. Asperger’s syndrome. The middle child wants to be a Marine. That might get a bit interesting, as she's a bit under 5’ and maybe 100lbs at age 16. I'm thinking unless she's got one more growth spurt in there somewhere, she maybe better go USAF, like her old man.
