I did speak with his recruiter. He did ensure me that my son was "delivered" to bootcamp all safe and sound. That is a weight off my mind. He is also going to call me when his adress and division are posted in the next few days. I think he will have…
You are welcome Lisa. =) It looks like you have deleted your original comment, so my reply looks a bit out of place here, as if I responded to the wrong discussion! LOL I do hope you have heard that Jon is at BC and doing well. Keep us posted on how…
Thanks for the info and encouragment Angie.
Lisa, I'm sorry it has been a rough road for you and your son! You didn't say how old he is, but regardless, if he was old enough to enlist on his own, then the Recruiter probably cannot give you any information on him without his consent. :( Howeve…
Hello BABY Girl!
All my kids are in the different branches of the service. We are a very strong long line of military family. I have two thoughts on this.
One:
Now since you have now broken the news to your mom you have now done the hardest part. Le…
i think if you focus on the benefits the navy will give you especially with education. my son is in the navy and graduated boot camp he is in a school at this moment. he has wanted to be in the navy since he was 13 years old. i am pleased he went in…
Sometimes it is hard for mother's to see their little ones grow up and leave the nest. I see this every day first hand. Both of my sons joined the Navy when they we 18. My oldest is still in and is now a recruiter. This was absolutely the right choi…
Hello there Jackie's baby girl! I am a Navy mom for the past 3 years. Have patience with your mom. Its not easy letting go of someone you have protected for 19 years and put them in the hands of others but she has to learn to let you go and for you…
hey, i'm active duty navy, and i here to tell you that having a degree coming in can help you get E-2 or E-3 automatically or since you would have a degree, go officer and get the big bucks. but like NavyPop said, we aren't going anywhere. so dont r…
your mom sounds just like me i hated it when kendall told us that was what he wanted to do but he also explained he needed to go on his own path and make his own decisions it took a lot of talking and a lot of tears but when we went to see him gradu…
You're do have a right to live your own life, but it is tough on a mom, especially the first one. I have 3 sons in the military. and my middle son just left to go in the Navy Reserves. He is looking forward to the extra money and the help with his e…
jbg- I really think you should print out this discussion and ask your Mom to please read it. She needs to know that her fears and tears are absolutely normal for any loving Mom, but that you aren't responsible for her level of happiness and you can'…
Don't worry your mom will come around. We moms always do. I was in her shoes about a year ago. But I understand now now and I am proud of my son.He been in the navy about two years. So I'll pray for you and your mom to come to an agreement of her un…
Hi I am a navy mom, and my son is overseas somewhere near Iraq. I'm okay now, and I think your mom will be okay too.I was your mom too about a year ago.My son was in college, finished a semester then came home and said , I think I want to go to the…
Did you go to Bennett College in Greensboro, NC? If so I went to Elon Univ. in Burlington, NC. In that case I'd recommend you to go Officer instead of Enlisted if possible, but that's a side note. About your post, I'm kind of in the same boat. My pa…
How are you doing in school??? I agree with NavyPop! The Navy is not going anywhere. My son decided to stop school because he was letting a bad personal relationship with a girl friend ( he is no longer seeing) affect his grades. He did great in the…

My mom dosn't want me to leave
Okay so i'm obviously not a "navy mom" but im a 19 year old college student at Bennett College for women. I've always wanted to go into the military and i excelled in JROTC in high school. I"m coming towards the end of my first year of college and i've decided to go to the Navy reserve until i'm finished with school and then go active duty. I probably wont be leaving for basic for a while but i have 12 months to do it. When i told my mom about my decesion she fliped!! It was a mix of all kinds o… Continue

- I was in the navy for 20 years, and when my daughter told me at the age of 8 -12 years ago that she wanted to join the Navy, I couldn't be more than proud that she wanted to serve her country and in the Navy as her mom did, she was in jrotc and now in as a cadet Annapolis will graduate next year. She is in the top of her class, speaks fluently 7 languages and learning 2 more top on physical fitness, majoring in mathematics and physics. knowing the Navy, she pretty much has her first appointment set :)
