<p>Hi this is not just a scare tactic, I do think this can be a great turnaround opportunity for boys neither here nor there in their lives, those who need to be shown a path,etc…I did think it would possibly be a wake up call that this is one viable option, and yes I do think it had the effect of making him realize how amazingly lucky he is to have the chances he does, I too have the highest respect for our military and every night in my prayers acknowledge the sacrifices they made and make each and every day, amazing when you think of the conditions they must live under to protect OUR freedoms and liberties…so admirable and honorable.
Listen, if he wanted to do it, as much as I personally will admit it would break my heart, because I would be a nervous wreck thinking that he might go to war, I would still support it because I think that kind of discipline, character building and no doubt confidence building experience can only make a boy a man, and a great man at that. I read recently that 200 of the top fortune 500 were all marines…interesting tidbit.
So we shall see…they went for dinner and will be home later, I am anxious to hear about it and will share for anyone interested. Good night!</p>
