My son is now in the Coast Guard.

Congrats! One of my coworkers was in the Coast Guard for twenty years and made Chief. He spent a lot of time stationed out of Kodiak Island, working on buoy tenders.

Marcus is looking at aviation. The coast guard has both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.

That's awesome Cordell. Glad he's moving forward and growing to be a man and productive member of society.

Thanks. He was in a rough patch a year ago, but he's come a long ways in just fourteen months. Things happen quickly during the teen years.
