My son heads out to Annapolis next week for Summer Seminar
I've never been more proud than today, my son received the letter Kingtuts son received last year, official candidate of the United States Naval Academy! He's just entering his senior year at high school and when he qualified for Naval Academy Summer Seminar for juniors, his application for the Academy was also accepted. He leaves next week for Annapolis and is chomping at the bit! He's a tall kid and pull ups were a problem but with training at the gym and home, he's up to 15 lightning fast Marine Corps pull ups and trust me, for someone tall, it's harder than you think.
Anywho...here he is on his last NJROTC inspection by our Area 7 Commander, CMDR. Hebert USN, he received "Outstanding" and a promotion. Commander Hebert also nicknamed him "Tinman" for his heart.
My son says he'll use that name for his call sign if he makes flight.
