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.

CONGRATS to both of you or I should say him, you and your wife since you are ones that made this achievement possible. As far as the C/S don't count on it ... it's done sometimes in the RAG and can be changed at his first operational squadron (our youngest's was) and is given to him not his choice ... after that it's fairly fixed in stone from then on out.
