I wanted to pause for a moment and thank you for this forum and thank those who participate here. I haven't posted much over the years; however, when our son was near the beginning of his journey at VMI, I tended to "hang around" here more frequently .
In just a few short days, he will be commissioning as a 2nd Lt in the Marine Corps, and graduating from VMI. A few weeks later, he will be getting married, going on his honeymoon, and then heading off to TBS. Although it has been almost 4 years, the time has flown by - at least for me.
It's kind of funny, but when I first saw VMI, there were very few people on campus, and I was somewhat "disenchanted". Later, when the campus was bustling with people, it seemed VERY different to me. I know that VMI is rich in history and tradition, but clearly, the PEOPLE make the difference. VMI is truly an amazing school with amazing students and alumni. The other parents that my wife and I have met have been very impressive. I will miss the trips to VMI and the activities.
Now, ... I suppose I will have a whole new set of concerns ... isn't this parenting job ever supposed to get easier?
Again, "Thank You!".
Respectfully,
Murf
