He is my best friend and confidant. He will be greatly missed but I know he will always be there for me. He is my rock, if it hadn't been for him, I don't know where I'd be today. He first decided to join the military right after high school, 2006. He wanted to join the air force, but then as luck would have it, he received a scholarship and decided to go to school until the money ran out. Then in June of this year, he and his girlfriend started talking about getting married. Now he began to wonder how he was going to be able to afford to take care of her and make a life for themselves as a married couple. He began talking about joining the military again. He went to the Air Force recruiting station 3 days in a row, they were closed each time no matter what the open times were on the sign or what time he went there. He decided, maybe the Navy would be better. The Navy recruiter was next door and were open each time he went there. So he walked in a young man (my baby boy), and out came a sailor. I am so proud of his decisions and what he has made of his life so far. I think it is the best decision he ever made and I stand behind him 100%.
