I'm pretty proud of my son. I signed for him to join the Marine Corps at 17. He finished High School in May, and shipped out to Parris Island in July. He ended up finding his way to an MOS as a Bulk Fuel Specialist, and has been handling the dispensation of jet fuel for his entire enlistment. He, and others in his section, who are about to leave active service were recruited by one of the big fuel companies to work in the oil fields. I enjoyed helping him put together a resume when he was in the hiring process and very pleased when he would call to tell me about how his interview went. Such a good feeling as a parent, to have your kid tell you how excited they are, that they will be supporting themselves and their families.
