i know you know this, but try not to steer him too hard, especially when it comes to submarine service - that's not a career you want to be "talked into".

some decisions a man needs to make for himself.

He's wanted the Naval Academy for a few years. I'm helping to open some doors and then it's all on him. He thinks he knows what he wants, but he'll need to get some experience to make his decision. All I know is submarines, carriers, nuclear power, and some of shipyard engineering world (EDO), he'll have people all around him for influence, he'll find his way.
