Our 31 year-old son FINALLY graduated Engineering School at CSU, Ft. Collins, Friday. The 5 year course took him almost 10. Two Winter NG ATs, 3 semesters lost due to a deployment, and another lost to WOCS. The school and the professors were great and, with all the catch-up time, guided him to a second Major. So his effort (and the NG and Army's money :lifter) netted him a BS in both Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science. Now he's off to Ft. Sill for nine months for 131A AIT.

Thanks, guys. The kid did a lot of jumping through hoops to pull it all together, but it was fun to watch. Wait, I mean, "I really felt sorry for him" or something like that. :D

Congratulations to Him and you both.


It was 10 years from when I left High School until I graduated undergraduate (with 6 years AD).

The USA needs more engineers and people like him!!!

Just a musing...
 
...from "deplorable" land.
Literally a flicker of a thought last night. Perusing the program just before #2 grand-daughter's HS commencement ceremony. They separately list the Honors Students, along with the names of parents, who will be announced as they're escorting their grad to be seated.* They explain the differences in tassel colors and a white mantle on the gown being membership in Nat'l Honor Society, etc., blah blah.

Looking down the list of honor students (and there were a BUNCH, with a sprinkling of ethnic variations) it struck me:
"Hunh. These are all 2-parent households with the same last name. What d'ya know about that..."
:cool:

* #2 just missed the cut, but we were very proud of her because unlike her older sister, to whom many things seem to come easily, she had to work hard to be where she was but never gave up.

Thanks! To be honest I enjoy them thoroughly. Their parents have raised a couple of fine solid people and, glancing around these days, that is plenty to be grateful for. (Caveat: Modern early-indoc was not done as they were home-schooled till entering 7th grade.)

Nah, that's on her Dad, although I'm amenable to festivities. This one though is going to take a break for awhile. She's not drank the kool-aid that says "all people must have some 4-yr degree." Maybe she'd like to be a welder or somethin'...
:cool:

Although I'm a better "Hunter," my wife still out fishes me. Kerr Scott in Wilkesboro. Of all things, using chicken livers. Lol. :cool:
