i have worked for myself all my adult life so was able to take my son with me i think he was on my jobs from the time he was 2 so he watched me run men and crews the whole time he was growing up i have never asked one of my men yo do anything i was not willing to do myself and rite along side them i never talked down to the men and did not run around yelling at them i learned early on if you treat a man like a man you get there respect and they want to work for you my son wached me close and learned every job he has had he has been put in charge he was offered 40k to stay here by his job a week before he left in small town usa that is big money but my son has his goal set and off he went the whole town expects great thing of him and if there is one thing i know of my son he wont let them down he has never said if i make it only when some people say that is setting yourself up for a fall i call it setting a goal and with a lot of heart a man can reach any goal he sets for his self and trust me he was taught that one and to tell you the truth i do not ever think he has ever said i cant do that i would have told him to roll up your sleaves and get it done anyway sorry about the spelling i work with my hands hope i got the point across

That's great Kurt. Here in Hawaii we have a lot of kids who'd rather be at the beach and is just content with living day by day. We were so proud of our son when he wanted to join the Navy. He wanted to make something of his life and has goals to make a career out of the Navy. We've told him that 20 years is a long time and to just take things day by day but no matter his choices we are always there for him. Good luck to your son and your family and may many adventures await you all.
never apologize Kurt when you speak from the heart!! HooYah!!
