My son complete A school
My son completed ETN A school on Friday and was awarded the Commanding Officers’ Personal Excellence Award and received a challenge coin. I was surprised and extremely proud.
He stayed in uniform and we went to Patriots Point and Fort Sumpter then to dinner. It was really cool to see him saluting as they lowered the flag at Fort Sumpter. A veteran tried to buy him a drink but he is only 18 so they bought him dessert instead at Fleets Landing.

Yes, very much so. We didn’t know he was chosen until graduation and I’m surprised you can’t hear my gasp on the video! I know my son took it upon himself to help train the class for the run because a lot were having issues with it and he’d been captain of his hs track team. The day of the run, he was so concerned with everyone else, he didn’t finish and had to run it by himself the next week where he passed easily. I think this is why he was selected. I was extremely impressed with him when he called me freaking out because he didn’t finish the run on the first try and told me why. I watched it happen in hs track as well. I’m so proud of him and his efforts.

Oh wow Lancertrackmom - that makes this honor all the more sweeter!! All the best to him as he continues to move through the Pipeline. I did not write much about Power School in my post on A school schedule, but I added a few things to it. Mostly, they will start focusing on three subjects at the same time. Mine will finish his Enlistment as an ETN2, all from hard work and no sign on bonuses! I am very proud of him, as I know you are of your son.
