ORIGINAL: USS America I'm taking a half day of vacation this afternoon to take Alex to get his driving Learner's Permit and then he has to get ready for his first AF JROTC formal ball. Mom and Dad are going to enjoy dinner at a different table with other parents and to take some pictures during the awards ceremony. AF ROTC? Mike , you failed. USN , or even USMC ROTC. But USAF? The shame, the shame. It's JROTC, Steve, at the high school level. You participate or not in the program that the school has. That being said, he still is set on going to West Point. And, I still can't get him to even consider visiting the city of Annapolis, much less the Academy. Obviously you are using the wrong bait. He likes sailing doesn't he? There are few places better than "Crabtown" for that (at government expense yet). And if you should arrange a "winter vacation" to upstate NY in January , you'll probably horrify the poor lad (having been raised in the south as he has). And has anyone told him yet that the state tree in Minot's state is the telephone pole? (As someone who has a "cold weather NEC" and something like 9 "bluenoses", having spent time in both places , as well as Greenland,Iceland,Norway and coming from Maine , only Chicago is colder and no where has more snow).
