I wasn’t really sure what to title this, this is just a vent post if anything.

Today is the first day of school where I work, It’s generally a good day for the kids, plenty of activities and not a lot of hitting to books, just time to reconnect with friends and ease into the year.

Every year they have bouncy houses, and every year they are provided by the Army National Guard. They have guys out here in their uniforms, and their big ass truck that screams, “FREE TUITION” on the side.

I remember having recruiters hassling me near the end of High School, but man, middle school? Now, I don’t know if these folks are hanging back and simply supervising, or if they’re actually chatting up the kids about the National Guard. I’ll tell you, I’ll be priming my kids to tell them to buzz off when they’re entering this grade level.
