My oldest grandson is in his 6th week of US Coast Guard boot camp. He just called home with news of his first duty station: http://navaltoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/USCGC-Tahoma-Back-in-Portsmouth-Homeport.jpg |

Don't know if it will be a career, but he was brought up (like many of us) that at some point in your life it is an honorable thing to do to do something to serve your country. Old school philosophy that I am pleased was passed on to my kids and now to their kids. Four years is a very short period of time and the experience and maturity gained is well worth it, especially for a 19 year old. Sure beats sitting around on some high school or college campus participating in a "cry-in" because your liberal teachers or professors encouraged you to do so after their political candidate got whooped. |

Some local election? Still in denial? ... or are you one of those people holding out for 30 faithless electors? |

Some local election? I believe he's referring to the national election for President. If you think he's making up a story, you're very wrong. |
