Ask me how proud am I ......
 

and I would have a hard time putting it in to words. So a couple pics will have to do.
Shelby's ROTC class is having it's annual "Military Ball". The men are required to wear full dress uniforms and the ladies dress in appropriate attire.
I couldn't be prouder.

She is beautiful Kevin! And a cadet as well? Means she has brains and discipline...yet, she's a 1%r !!! Well done...

Congrats! You know the old saying: "Guns don't kill people. Dads with pretty daughters do."

I've got a couple of those Tee shirts.

Good for both of you. :)

My son is about to finish his freshman year at VMI, the "Rat" year, as Army ROTC. They are called Rats until they "breakout", which is generally around February/March. The six months or more as a Rat are very, very difficult.

Here is a video of his classes breakout:
