It's not all that great of a G.I. bill anymore. It's been scaled way back. Yeah, it would help. But I saved up to pay his whole ride. So money is not a big object (although I have never told him that. I want him to earn it, then pay for it).

I believe I have a seriously negative view of what he intends, just from my history. Plus, he is focused on the teams. And I do mean focused. Up at 5am every morning for a 5 mile run. Of to a private gym for some serious workouts 3 nights a week. Scuba. Mental & physical acuity training with some Marine recruiters. And to go through all of this just to have a chance at something that I truly think he is doing just because it's so damned hard by design...and then even IF he gets there all the crap he will go through. No sane dad would want that for their boy

I hear you, Lecivius. But doesn't he-at some level-want it? Why else would he be going through all the insane-o work if he didn't? At what point do you as a dad take a step back and let him be accountable for his actions and attitude and let him decide for himself?

I'm not questioning your parenting-far from it, mate. I just want to know the formula for when mine (11 and 8) get to that age.

Oh, he wants it. And he is getting his degree. And I agree with what you say.

But I could still just scream

Well, having the World Series wrap up in 12 innings didn't help getting the extra hour of sleep this weekend...

Hard getting up this morning!

My son is a senior in high school. He wants to join the navy, try for the teams.

NOT ON MY WATCH!! YOU ARE GONNA GET A COLLEGE EDUCATION FIRST!!

So I just get an email from a university. He applied!! I read through it, and as I was reading a second email came in, from the campus NROTC program

I could just scream....

Why not compromise? Ever hear of the reserves? A GI bill, a good paying part time job , a leg up with officer recruiters and in my humble opinion, it will make him a much better officer.

Good morning! Celebrating 19 years with by blushing bride this week! Looking forward to many more. She tolerates my "trips to the Pacific", doesn't understand why I would play a game that lasts for multiple years, but knows I am happy, so she is happy. As such, she gets what she wants and all is good.

Both my Matrix football seasons are shot. Seems like no matter what I am doing nothing helps. It is what it is. Good luck to the rest, I will keep trying, but am not expecting much from this year.
