I thought the article would provoke some interesting conversation but I didn't expect a debate on military training...
I am not so in favor of promoting military training to DD for leadership skills. I hope there is a safer way.
Though military has been used for many people to pay for graduate school. I know some MDs that went that way. And it is a great way to learn skills like air traffic control and air plane mechanics.
Addendum: I know I have DD doing a lot of things. (feel the critique) Though at the same time, I want her to know you can stop and have fun. We are leaving for the DR on Sat for 8 days. Have eco-tourism hanging with crocodiles, swimming with sharks and dolphins. And half laying in the sun (that is me) while she hangs in the pool with other kids). And she asked for 2 ziplines. One in the south and one in the north. I am not the worst mother.
