My son just finished dive school and will be moving on to the next phase.... I know what you mean about "choking up" mom2jd. Two days ago I was thinking about his next step in EOD and just started crying... unfortunately, he was in the room and he just said, "1 year mom, I have 1more year of training." but... he didn't get it, not being a mom... :-) We are so proud of our guys.... I'm glad we can come here for support.

I couldn't pick--so I just say I'm a winner either way (diplomatic, huh!). Although my Navy son says that since he is my favorite, I should be cheering for Navy. Anyway, the game is over now and Navy won---so congrats to Navy!

Thank you for replying pench. My son did get a flight from SD yesterday. It was just so down to the wire, I wasn't sure if he would. If he didn't make it into this class, I was trying to estimate how much longer he would be in California. He is coming from SEAL training and is eager to begin his new path. I've watched a few episodes of "Bomb Patrol, Afghanistan" trying to get a feel for what he will be doing. I had been preparing for all of the stages of SEAL training, and sort of knew what to expect. I have a lot to learn about EOD training. It is encouraging to hear that your son Loves it!!
