I'm feeling pretty proud today and would simply like to share this clipping from my towns local newspaper today with you all

Now I'm impressed.

You know that guy?

After school, eventually joining the merchant navy was a brief thought of mine, too, but at that age, 18, I was lacking the courage, and the prospect of facing the big wide world was intimidating for me. I got my share of travel and adventure, but not before several years later. Nice to see that your courage pays off for you!

Impressive.

Torplexed · 07-25-09, 07:58 AM

Congrats to James.

Off to an excellent start.

talesofvalor · 07-25-09, 08:08 AM

Congratulations.

SteamWake · 07-25-09, 08:09 AM

Congradulations an accomplishment to be proud of for sure

Platapus · 07-25-09, 08:57 AM

Great achievement!!!

Do they know you spend you spare time sinking British ships?

For a reasonable fee, I am sure we won't "accidently" let that slip out.

Dowly · 07-25-09, 09:04 AM

That's cool! Congrats to James!

Its good to see the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Tell your son well done from all of us here at subsim - but more importantly - show him the post - so he can truly see how proud his "old man" is of him. Sometimes thats the easiest way to get it across without being all "I wanna hug".

Onkel Neal · 07-25-09, 09:54 AM

Give him a Texas-sized hug of congratulations from me, well done. Well done.

Oberon · 07-25-09, 10:07 AM

Skybird · 07-25-09, 10:22 AM
