I just got home from the going-away party for a former student of mine who, in a couple days, will report to West Point.
He has no idea what he's in for. Of course I think he's as ready and capable as anyone can be, but the experience is so unlike anything most of us have ever experienced before as to be impossible to prepare for. You just go there, do what needs to be done, accomplish your mission, and then graduate. Simple. Not easy, but simple.
Part of me envies him, just starting out on this adventure....
