A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

If he gets accepted to Embry, I can check up on him when I visit my li'l brother!
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

Re: Hoo-rah
Had to list and apply to 5 that are on NROTC list. Wants to do Mech Eng. Top choices are Cal Maritime and USD.
Apparently the military will come back and tell him which they'll support him at. I reckon cheapest would be their first choice. Not totally clear how the next step works. Waiting to see info that acceptance package.

Re: Hoo-rah
the only stipulation i would have on Riddle in Daytona would be that you dont actually live in Daytona or Port Orange... both places are hellholes...
If possible, live north in Ormond or south in New Smyrna...
