ADC's cool post about his hulk of a son got me thinking. A lot of time is spent complaining about the younger generations, schools, laziness, video games, etc. The complaints overshadow the accomplishments of some really awesome kids all across this country--and Canada. I'm lucky to have four great kids--not perfect, but I'm proud of them. I'll focus on my oldest son because we hung out all day. My almost 16 year old son is my hunting and trapping partner. He is a hard worker, good to his mother, a straight A student, really good wrestler, studies kickboxing and Jui Jitsu and helps his old Dad around the farm. He is likely headed to the Naval Academy--if he gets in. We spent today shooting and are now in the shop sorting brass and cleaning guns. Let's post about more great American kids. Tell us about the kids, grandkids and others you are proud of.

I am proud of all my kids and grandkids. My youngest went down a bad road for awhile but she is back on the pavement now.

I'm proud of all the kids that are taking firearm training again this session. I'm especially happy to see the number of girls we get each session.
A man is suing Smart Water for it not making him smart. I'm seriously thinking of suing Thin Mints.

There's a lot of good kids out there yet. The best are those that grow up away from cities. Parents teach them the ways of life a lot more than city people do. I know there's some that come from the city , just pointing out those that didn't grow up in the country , have no idea about true freedom. When they move to the country , first thing they do is post their property , and think everyone's property next to them , is free to trespass on. To them it's like the city park , or county /state land , free to do as they please. Just totally no idea of real life. Just like they want to shut down farms because the animals smell. SMH.

Blaine County- Congrats on having a really good kid. I wouldn't expect anything less because you seem to be a very involved dad. Good luck to him in getting into Annapolis, a very selective place as you already know.
What was the carbine he was shooting in the photo...?.

What was the carbine he was shooting in the photo...?. Thanks. He goes to wrestling camps there in the summer and really wants it. I'm taking him to see West Point this summer after I pick him up in Annapolis. He'll probably apply to both. The gun is a CZ Scorpion. Fun little gun for banging steel.

One of my students took the ACT twice and scored perfect 36 on both.
