Linda,
Gabrielle has gotten a little quiet too the past couple of weeks.
I am proud of ger too and know it is the perfect decesion for her.

Nice to meet you. I am feeling the same thing.
We're planning my daughter's going away party too.

Hi Everyone,
Haven't been in awhile. We are 30 days away from BC now.
Time has flown by. How are you and your Deppers doing now that it is so close ? Gabrielle goes for her DEP PRT this Thursday, she is a little anxious.

Hi Sheila,
Gabrielle attended Forest Hills Central and then Eastern, but in 9th Grade we started homeschooling. She struggled at school because she was so smart -they didn't know what to do with her and she tends to be shy. She would always want to…
Thank You Kim and Susan for the welcome. After hearing yesterday that she won't go to BC until March Gabrielle decided it was ok after all- it will give her more time to work on PT and getting personal stuff in order. I can't believe the change in h…

She needs to talk to one of them about the "Seaman-to-Admiral" program and get going :-) Once she gets into power school, honestly there is so much studying and work she probably won't have time to do anything but that. However, once she is at a duty station, they have lots of online courses they can do to get their Bachelor's degree. What's she interested in? With a great GPA like that she can do whatever she wants!

- Hi Brenda - My daughter, Tracy, already had her BS before she enlisted. She was told - mistakenly, we found out - that her GPA wasn't "high enough" to be an officer. She completed the nuke program and applied for OCS while she was there. The nuke program is unique in that it is a great channel for intelligent kids to get into an officer program - it's called "Seaman to Admiral". Once your daughter finishes boot camp and gets to Charleston for her "A" school, she will have a career counselor that can steer her in the right direction. If she doesn't feel she's ready for college, then going into the nuke program is a great alternative. It's hard work, but she should do fine --- nose-to-the-grindstone :-) Let me know if you have any specific questions; I'd be happy to answer

- What I hear is that they are truly homesick the first two weeks not to scare you but my son's girlfriend is in bc now and he said that's is all she talked about at first but she good now. I know my son calls me everyday and we talk for hours he leaves in VA with my mom and I have relocated. It is a wonderful experience and a great career. Her little sister will probably find it hard at first but she will adapt to being an only child at home quick. I remember when my brother left for the Navy I was sick lol but like you said I began to develop my own independence and identity. I don't remember if I shared this info with you but there is book titled Honor Courage and Commitment by J F Leahy a great book tells all you need to know about bc. You should read it as well it has helped me to understand what my son will experience in bc.
