My son was recently promoted. I was able to pin his new rank on him in a quick ceremony at St. Mary's Regional Airport this morning. They were heading from Aberdeen down to AP Hill and stopped in long enough to give me the honor of presenting him with his new rank.
A lot of my friends have children a bit younger than my son. Many are young adults that are just starting out in life and are trying to figure out what they want to do in life. I often suggest that they look into the military. College isn't necessarily for every high school grad. I'm glad my son got involved with ROTC when he was in college. The ROTC and the Army gave him guidance and responsibility at the right time in his life. The army trusts him with their multimillion dollar aircraft. Not many mid 20 year olds get that type of responsibility handed to them.
