In a few short hours, I take my son to his first “away” camp. For me, and Jen, this is kinda a big deal. For him, well, he is excited. But I know he understands this is an INCREDIBLE chance to be seen. Davidson College, we have learned, is a VERY good school. At 13 almost 14, he has a chance to show them all what his LIFETIME soccer “career” has meant.

No, we are not the type of parents to push him…. he chose this, and likes it. Yeah, dad played trumped, he tried, didn’t like it, so he plays the pitch and runs track. I am so proud. He is going away for 4 days…..I KNOW he will do well, I only hope he knows how MUCH we love him. No matter how well he does, he’s ALWAYS our son, and will always mean the UNIVERSE to us! Good luck son!!!!!

There was a time in my life, when I was assigned to a “short timer” Sgt. that could care less if I made it as an Air Traffic Controller or not; he was on his way to Japan for 3 years. I was already signed-off on PAR Final control, and flight data, but arrival control I NEEDED to remain a Marine and in ATC. Read on for the story of my best supervisor ever. (still.)

If anyone wants to get me anything, this is VERY HIGH on the list.
