How are your "20 somethings" doing these days?

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

And while I'm at this rant, I think the abolishment of the draft was a mistake.
I would like to see all the street animals run head on into a good drill instructor. :o :lol:
I think that in most cases the military helped shape our country in a positive way.
The old CCC was a good start, but nothing like the military.
Hey CooperHawk, From what I understand, those days are in the past. Nowadays, recruits are giving a stress card. If they feel stress, they pull out their card. I just wonder how well that will work when someone is shooting at them?

But, I agree. The military may be able to bring more cohesion throughout the Country.
Actions speak louder than words (Matthew 7:16-20).

Both able bodied men and women after high school should receive military training. To learn respect, develop discipline and proper use/care of firearms.

I've got a 25yo that is just finishing a Masters in Education as a first year teacher. 1st yr pay is pretty dismal considering the cost of education required to get this job. Our 22yo is a Senior at a major state school majoring in veterinary pharmaceutical research, authoring 2 research studies currently looking for a graduate program to continue on for a doctorate.

I'm just a dumb union construction/labor. A hard hat and a blue collar.
