I just have to say this….
Two months ago I was in Fayetteville/Ft. Bragg to watch my son graduate SFQC. That special day occurred just two months after his 20th birthday.
In the days following graduation we spent some quality father and son time together. One thing I noticed was a recurring theme that my son had a general disdain for other young men his age.
When I inquired about this new found attitude his explanation was “They make my life hard”. I pressed for more information and he said “I can’t even start to meet the standard until I first prove I am not one of them’
At the time I thought my son was riding the crest of his own little ego wave. (Which I figured was somewhat to be expected based on his accomplishment.)
However, the more I read introductions and posts by “other” 20 year olds, many with college and entry level military training (ROTC)…. I completely understand my son’s attitude and statements.
