I have no children Sammy. But I'd like to think I"d never tell one she/he is GOING to be this or GOING to be that. Not everyone wants to be an Officer or a CEO. Does that make them unsuccessful? I know this is going way OT and the way you raise your children is none of my business. Personally I'm glad you push your children to be the best they can be. Probably one less person we'll all have to support through more taxes for being a slacker. I like this quote. To me this makes a person successful...
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” MLK Jr.
Back to the Coast Guard. I live 15 miles from the Academy. A fine looking campus and some fine people are there.
