[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 387523, member: 6546"] Allan-- We would LOVE for difficult child to set some goals. And therein lies the disconnect... She has been under the impression that by simply enrolling in the ROTC program, she qualified for a scholarship that will pay for a full four years college tuition. She is wrong. husband and I have tried to explain this to her. We have asked her to show us the information about this "scholarship". We have advised her to talk to her ROTC Commander about the scholarship program. But so far, difficult child remains in denial. This week the ROTC cadets had to do physical fitness testing. difficult child did not pass. This has been the first indication to her that she may not pass the ROTC program. husband was in the Army years ago....until he blew out his knee and they sent him home. Today, husband is nowhere near the shape he was in then....but yes, he would make an excellent coach for her. He will in no way be able to run with her...and has no intention of even trying. If difficult child were able to articulate some goals....we would be more than happy to support her. Instead, this has been more like an "announcement" - You need to help me pass the Phyiscal Fitness Test. I guess we'll see... [/QUOTE]
