What do submarines and science fair projects have in common? They both require strategy, patience, and a solid sense of humor.

In our latest episode of Homeschool Talks, HSLDA President Jim Mason dives deep (pun fully intended) with Rear Admiral James Waters about being a homeschool father while navigating a high-stakes military career. This episode features:

  • Why Admiral Waters and his wife chose homeschooling for their kids, even with a life full of relocations and duty stations
  • What the military taught him about leadership and how those lessons show up at the kitchen table
  • Real opportunities for homeschool grads in the military (hint: it's more than marching and mess halls)
  • How military service can open unexpected doors for careers, education, and personal growth

Whether you're a homeschool parent, a student weighing post-grad options, or just love a good sea story—this episode delivers insight and inspiration!
