Citadel

[Viennacock]

Any grads in the house? My child is here for an overnight visit. I didn't think I would like it but absolutely love it. The parent presentation was phenomenal. If I could have signed myself up last night, I would have. Blown away.

I graduated in 1979.Easily one of the most important things in my life after My faith and family.Due to connections in the El CID family I had a 36 year career that I recently retired from.My 2 sons also attended.One a army physician and the other a very successful career in Engineering.Not sure any of that would have happened without The Citadel.
if your son chooses to go it will be the path less traveled and a challenge for sure but with many rewards at the end.

Appreciate the feedback. It surprised the heck out of me when he told me he wants to attend the Citadel. After the parents presentation, I am on board.

I haven't caught up with him after the stay. We meet shortly. Hopefully he still has a strong interest.

Hopefully you can see Pat Conroy’s 2001 Commencement speech.Pretty much describes what wearing a Citadel ring means.
