    Life after the kids leave

    I made the last school lunch for my son last night.:frown: 200 lunches X 13yrs = 2,600 lunches (approx) We've worked diligently through the years so that they can successfully-leave home. I'm proud of them. Yet...the realization that they're going and not necessarily coming...

    Funny misconceptions about ROTC

    I can't tell you how many times I was asked, "....and how do you feel about that." when I told people that my son was going to school on an Army ROTC scholarship. I would tell them it was great.
