Today was my last offical day as a @WestPointSOSH and Dept of Defense employee. They graciously let me work remotely this summer so I came up to do my final paperwork. I am incredibly grateful for the last nine years. I have learned and grown so much....

Caught my 8 year old thumbing through this issue of @J_HumanResource . Him: Dad! Did you see there is an article about @WestPoint_USMA . Me: Did you see who wrote it? Him: *Gasp* I am so proud of you Dad! Wait until he finds out other kids dads fly helicopters and fight fires.

A piece of counsel from @NelsonRussellM that I try to put by my mirror and think about when research gets tough and rejections are endless. h/t @mckaycoppins

My kids had to write 4,000 words before they could open presents. Needed to instill a type of work ethic like their ancestors working on the farm.

Grad Students: Today is Christmas. Give yourself the gift of writing — whether on a manuscript of your own or a collaboration. If in the field, collect some field notes. Either way, get some work done. It’s one of my favorite days of the year to work, because all is still.

Last class today. Cadet: Sir, you are really good at pointing out flaws in our arguments. Who points out your flaws? Me: My wife. Cadet: Do you point out hers? Me No. Him: Why? Me: There are none....and I enjoy being married.

When I present work on veterans, community colleges, and working adults, this statistic shocks fellow academics rather than students. Average undergraduate age is 26, working full time, and has a child or two.

@JeffDenning Average age of us undergraduates is 26. Average college dropout rate is 40% (depending on how you measure it) Black and Hispanic women more likely to be enrolled in college than white men.

Today my oldest got up, unloaded the dishwasher, did chores, made lunch for his brothers, and I caught him singing 80s songs to himself...approaching the parenting break even point, y'all.

Friends, a 🧵 about something near to my heart: the Great Salt Lake. I grew up in Syracuse, Utah next to the lake shore. Mountain biked a few times a month giving first aid on the Island as a volunteer. Took my kids out here and it is heart breaking. First, the marina:

@phil_lyman Phil, people have lost loved ones. Folks headed to/from work drowned in their cars. Have some class and maybe spare us the culture war for a bit.
