Can't be that bad. Is he at the academy? No, I couldn't get either of my sons interested in attending one of the service academies even though I promised them each a new Corvette if they graduated and received their commission. It actually would have been a good deal for me but they saw right through it and I ended up spending a lot more than that on tuition. My oldest however does have his name on a trophy at the naval academy sailing center for his accomplishments elsewhere. It would be tempting to call him a chip off the old block but in sailing circles these days I'm more often known as "Peter's Dad". |

They'd have gotten a hell of an education for a five year commitment. Most academy grads get their masters, paid for by the military, also. |
