In previous posts, I have mentioned that my son is a member of the JROTC at his school- Northwest Cabarrus High School.

They have had several drill competitions but I was never able to attend any for they were always in a different part of the state.

Hurray!! The most recent one was held right here in Charlotte at Independence High School. I went!

Watching my son perform his drills was one of the proudest moments in my life. He participated in 3 of the 4 drills his squad prepared.

That was a full day for us. He had to get to his school for the bus at 6:30 am. The competition began at 9 am and ended around 2pm. After the competition, we went home and got his stuff ready for a Boy Scout campout he had to get to. We got to the campout around 4pm and I hung around 'til 7. I had a good time but that's another post. : )

Mr Tony,

My police and military discipline has made me the squirrel man that I am.

Tony,

You can only hope that your son ends up a mover and a shaker like Nutsy. He needs to set his goals high.

Wow Tony, What a wonderful family you have! You must be sooo very proud of your son, and your dancing daughter. Hug them and squeeze them as tight as you can, they grow up so quickly, don't they?
