Profile Information

About me:
I'm a retired teacher who is still teaching middle school math after 37 years. My youngest son completed Boot Camp at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, and is now in Sub School in Groton, Conneticut He begins A school next, for FT training. He has a brother currently in the Air Force and stationed in Anchorage, Alaska; a sister who is a fire and rescue dispatcher; and a sister who is a librarian.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Needed to learn more about it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Patience! Not always hearing for a period of time is not necessarily a bad thing, and actually makes the times when you do hear, that much more precious! It's just a reminder of how busy our sons' lives have become..
I also understand the importance of letting my son know the confidence and pride that I have in the decsions he has made for his future; and in the man, and sailor, is he is becoming!
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Unreal... Garrett signed his contract January 2007. He had to wait for a rescue swimmer slot to open up until May 2007. He finished his training for AWR and left for Japan December last year. He's been in the fleet since then. Loving every minute of it. He has experience typhoons at sea, visited all kinds of foreign ports! We'll have to stay in touch. I have to run now.... later! B
