I just think it's great that my oldest son will graduate next May from the Naval Academy! He left high school with a full scholarship to Cal Polly in Computer Graphics but hated the course and dropped out. Fooled around for a year or two and took some community college courses, got a job at McDonalds and then decided he better get on with life. He joined the Navy and after 2 years as an inlistee in the Nuclear Sub program was told by his commander that he was pretty smart and should apply to Annapolis where he was accepted. He was 23 as a plebe, one of the oldest in his class and he seems to have really found something he likes. I'm especially happy that he is getting a real good education and we are not having to foot the bill!
