He can always join the Marines and be on the top of the heap.
Haha.
A lot will depend on if the Academy wants him or if they
think HE want's it enough.
I had bad eyesight too and failed the eye test for the Corps
twice, but they knew I wanted in and though I failed the third time, a sympathetic Gunny got the navy corpsman called away then went and changed my score to passing,
I didn't know if I should have praised or cursed that Gunner
while I was at Parris Island, but now I treasure that memory.
The Corps takes care of it's own.
Best of luck to your son, may he make the grade.
Thanks for the kinds words.
