Profile Information

About me:
New Navy Mom and could not be prouder of my son's decision.
I myself am a former Marine. but the Marine Corps or the world today is not what it was 25 yrs ago. So his Dad and I were not keen on the idea of him going in the Marines, even though we truely understood why he would want to be a Marine. Anyway, He will be in Aviation and he can't wait to get started with his new life and experiences.
I am here to support or represent my:
Child/Stepchild
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
