This morning I dropped off my oldest son at The Citadel for his first year of college. He wants to complete his 4 years there, then become a career officer in the USMC. He's never had any interest in old tractors, but becoming a Marine is just as good. It's a tough school and he will be starting Hell Week. No contact with anyone outside the school for a week, and it will be greuling all year. Best wishes to all of you who are taking your kids to college. It ranks high as one of life's emotional experiences.

Best of luck to your son. My stepson is leaving for Paris Island on the 29th so I kinda know how your feeling.

Best of Luck to your son. Been through it myself at another military college in the late 60's - early 70's.

Always wanted to be an Armor Officer. Proudest moment of my life was getting those gold bars.

Then 'rode with the 1st Cav'.. Maybe that's why I like old tractors..
