    Becoming an AF Pilot after USMMA?

    Quitting USMMA

    I am sure it is up there on the list. There were kids being kicked out through my son's 4th year. No one is safe until they walk across the stage and are handed a diploma.

    Quitting USMMA

    A few years ago during his second year my son asked me what i would think if he were to leave. I told him it was his life, that he had earned the right to make his decision and I would support whatever he decided. Then I held my breath until he returned to school for his third year. He...

    company assignments

    This is appalling. How can this possibly happen? How are these conditions allowed to exist? Prisoners in county jails get running water and urinals.

    company assignments

    My son is now in 5th Company, and reported that in addition to no a/c, the hall is filthy and was not ready to be occupied. I really hate to see them starting a new academic year in less than equal circumstances to other members of 2014.

    TAMU Question.. How are Aggie parents handling sports pass?

    My older son is at A&M, so here is my view. Car: There is no need for a car on campus, especially for the first year of school. There are enough buses to get around. A car is just one more hassle to worry about and for the first year the less hassles the better. Sports pass: If your...

    Kay Bailey Hutchinson

    Silence of the Hutch My son also has not gotten any word. He had received a nomination from his congressman, so I anticipate that he will get a letter that tells him since he has gotten one from his MOC that she would not be giving him one. Nonetheless, the courtesy of a response would have...
