Took our son to Chicago on July 6 to be inducted into Navy on the 7 th. He was to get 1 short call to let us know he was ok. Instead we get a call to come and get him, 1% too much body fat, wouldn't let him in for 3 weeks or till he losses weight. I called recruiter and asked what the H--- was going on, they should get that off him in a week. He said they can't do that any more, lose an inch off the waist and then come back. Wife not happy at all!!!! I told him he had to work, I didn't have any extra $$ to have him lay aroung for 3 weeks. He tried a friend who carpenter's but didn't have any luck, so I got him on a bin crew that I help parttime. They think he's great, and he is sweating his butt off. Too tired to run around at night and is eating light. ##'s coming off, Momma is glad he is home for a little while and he is looking forward to 27 th to get to go back and try again. He is 25 and finally getting his act together.I told him to save his money, and pay off balance on his pickup if he wanted to keep it after basic, so we will see what happens. I have more in it than he does, and it's not leaving till it's paid off. Yes, I am proud of him, That's my son. Chris

The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner.
