If only sleeping in til 6am in the military was a possibility... :o) as if! :o)


>>>Allie is going to be starting out at a community college. She did the bare minimum all the way through high school, just enough to get by. Given that, a four year school doesn't make sense right now (even if she could get admitted). We're going to give this a try and see if she discovers some motivation. If she gets a job for this summer, which she hasn't yet, I hope it is such pure drudgery she decides that isn't the way she wants to spend the next 40 years. She's not dumb, just lazy.

>>My son, Zach, is 19 and going into the military this summer. We are trying to get him to go with the Air Force. He doesn't really know what he wants to do, and I figure he can mature a little before making a decision. Air Force guys eat steak, while everyone else eats mud, so that's why I'm advocating them.

>Sounds like a very similar situation. I don't know if I can picture Allie in the military, though -- do you remember Private Benjamin? <g> "No makeup? Getting up at 6 a.m.? As if!" Or saying "Whatever" to an officer <g>.
