Hello all, I am the mom of a 7th grader who is interested in aviation, ships, navy, coast guard - you name it. His goal is to be a pilot one day. He's a great student, naturally hasn't taken any kind of standardized tests except for the Texas Staar test, which he aced in 6th grade. I have little military knowledge myself so I was just doing some research on academies and what it takes to get in, and I see sports as a common theme. As I said, I expect he will continue to excell in his academics. He is also in band which he loves and will continue through high school. He completed cub scouts, did not do boy scouts last year but will start back up this year. The only thing he has never done much is sports. We tried as a small kid, but he was never very interested. I've encouraged him to try cross country this year now that he's in junior high school. He's not unathletic, enjoys biking, etc but he's just not done much that's organized. Any advice there and how important are sports?
Thanks!
Thanks!
