Hi Navy girl! Congrats on your new adventure. I is so beautiful there. My daughter (19) left Halloween weekend of last year and graduated January 9th. I am still struggling and trying to hold back the tears. She was not my only child. I have a girl 23 and a son almost. I know this is what you asked but I had to vent a little. Anyway, depending on your job will depend on where you to school. My daughter is go to school to be an Air Traffic Controller. She is in Pensacola, FL now. She is scheuled to graduate 5/22/12 and then she can come home for 2 weeks. She has not been home in 5 months. My understanding the top percentage of the class get to go where they choose. My daughter will be heading for Virginia Naval Station and then possible on to a ship for 6mths. The days are easier, but I still cry when I here her sweet voice. Make sure whomever raised you is aware that you will not make any contact with them the first 3 wks of training. That was the worst time of my lffe. Preparing for it is usuless. Take it from some ont who know. Take care and enjoy the moment. My daughter said Bootcamp was a breeze. She is about 5ft 7in and about 100 lbs. You will be fine.!

Thanks!!! I will be leaving on Monday to head to MEPS for the final swearing in. I am ready to go. I am the baby of three. My mom has already started getting emotional. And its even worse for my only niece who is five. I told my mom that it would be awhile before she would hear from me. And I assured her and my niece that I would write as soon as I get a chance.
