congrats man.......my best friend flies cobras for the marines. he didnt do ROTC in college but completely regretted it. He made a good choice if he wants to go down that road.

Please offer your son my thanks and that of my family for his service. You can't do any better than that.

Thanks guys! I have done my best to teach my children right. My teaching time is about over for the oldest...

That's my first cousin's daughter in the picture. She and several others were awed at the scholarship amount. Makes me wonder if the recruiters will have an easier time of finding folks. I have had fun telling the recruiters that they were a day late and several dollars short on Toby.
