    A hearty congrats...

    Jock,
    Please extend my heartiest congratulations to the Mrs. and I also congratulate you as well. This is truly an admirable accomplishment and you should both be very proud (which I know you are based on the smiles).

    My wife graduated in the summer of 2009 with an Emergency Medical Sciences degree after completing a very intensive paramedic training program. When she started back to school, we were fairly "certain" that I would be stable in my deployments and moves for about 3 years. She got two years into it and the Army dropped a bomb on me that they felt the need to reassign me. Her program was not a general studies program that would just allow you to "unplug" and resume at another school...so we made the decision for her and the kids to stay where at our house in North Carolina while I moved away and then deployed. Long story short, that last year of her school was a huge challenge with me gone and attending classes, writing papers, and working multiple "clinical" rotations every week at different ambulance services, hospitals, etc. I was able to schedule my mid-tour leave home from Afghanistan to coincide with her graduation and am very glad that I was able to be there to help as she finished her final studying and testing and then to celebrate her accomplishment with her.

    Congratulations to Mrs Jock Bsc. I know it must have taken several years of hard work on her part to accomplish this. My wife recently went back to school via distance learning and earned her doctorate of Audiology. It was a lot of work on her part, and took the rest of the family pulling together to help out so that she could complete her studies. I'm sure you both were in the same boat. Mrs Jock Bsc I'm sure is welll pleased with her accomplishment, and rightly so.

    I'm a big believer in the value of education, at any age. Congrats to Mrs. Jock Scot!

    Now as for Mr. Jock Scot's jacket... will you have it altered, just deal with it, or perhaps get rid of it?

    Here's to your lovely lady; congratulations to Mrs. Jock. Odd as it may seem, I feel a bit of pride in my un-met friend's wife. Good on her!
