[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP -- I shared my example of an average kid's success story. Yes, he chose the military. And two years later, he has over $40K in savings, excellent performance reviews, and he loves what he's doing. He spent last New Year's eve with fellow sailors in a beachfront villa in Bali,  and Chinese New Year in Hong Kong Harbor. I'm pretty frickin' proud of him.

You have a better idea? Please share it, instead of rolling your eyes like a RH.[/quote]

That's great.  I have a kid in 9th grade who's an average student by local area standards; he's an avid reader who loves all things history and military-related.  He's already made it clear he doesn't want a desk job.  We have not discussed the military directly, but it will clearly be an option for him to consider.

I can't tell you the contempt I have for area residents who look down on the military at the same time as they benefit from both its presence and its efforts.  This area can be such a bubble.        [/quote]
