My 15 year old son is at New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI). He is the one on the right (with his room mate). He is 15 and is going to high school there as a Freshman. He loves it. He is on the JV football team and taking a full load of classes. He is HIGH SPEED. Knows everything and is doing very well. It is a great place and he is getting one of the best educations in the US. Go Colts!! He is the one pictured in my avatar when he was just 18 months old with the bubble pipe. Very proud of him. How time passes!

Thanks guys. It has been really hard to let him go away at such a young age but I know God has a great plan for him and his future.

Congrats. You have every reason to be proud and I understand your feeling of pride. When I pinned my sons badge on him when he graduated the police academy I got all misty eyed.

You have every right to be proud of him. Time passes too quickly and it's nice to see the values of hard work, responsibility, and honor carried on.

I wish him all the best and I suspect he will be a high achiever.

Well done.

I sure meant to.

Thank you for your kind words and to many of you your service to our country.
I am not sure what the future holds for this son of mine, but he does think the military is an option. We will see. He thinks he would like to go to a service academy. We will cross that bridge in a couple of years. He is planning now though.
Again, thank you all.

My son is finally home for Thanksgiving. He has not been home for around 3 months. What a joy to have him home for a few days. Count your blessings and have a great Thanksgiving!

Looks like he's found a good niche and has a good educational track. If young people can find a channel for

all their energy and enthusiasm, the trajectory can last a lifetime. If kids can find some kind of calling, it

sees them through the rough times we all encounter.
