Jackson Left for West Point

Jackson, my over-the-top, 16-year old, ROTC-lovin' baby, is now at West Point in upstate NY. He left yesterday at 6 p.m. and they drove all night, getting there early this morning. Their schedule is grueling. He'll go to classes and sports with the student he gets assigned to for the next two days, eat in the dorms and essentially be a cadet for 48 hours. He gets home around 8 a.m. Saturday morning. I get a quick text this morning from him. All it said was "Is anybody there awake?" Guess he's already buying into the military intelligence thing.

I'm hoping it will be a great experience for him and that it motivates him to start thinking about college pretty seriously. Also hope he doesn't sign anything with a U.S. seal at the top while he is there!
