CAP involvement is going well. He's very into it; even got a military spec haircut. He's slowly accumulating his greens and blues (blues come by mail for the most part, greens they sort of cobble together out of their own stock). They've just started a module on rocketry, so he's gonna build a model rocket (hell, I do that every few years...this will be a good excuse to do it again!).
School is still a problem. The administration has dealt with what they said they would deal with, but the boy is still manifesting some psychosomatic physical symptoms (although some of it may have been undiagnosed migraines...we had him in the ER last night until 1:30 AM with what appeared to be a migraine). He says he *wants* to be in school, and indeed, he has a lot of enthusiasm for his activites there, but his grades are slipping, and some old habits are surfacing again (throwing away homework, not bringing home grade reports, etc).
In short, it is still a work in progress.
