Well it appears no one has written here for a long time. Graduation seems like a life time ago. My son left there for San Antonio for MA School. I am proud to say that he graduated a Distinguished Graduate. He was already promoted on e in Basic so this means he will make E 4 within 9 months. I am so proud. He graduated March 28th, got married April 6th and leaves for Guam for 3 years. Talk about a busy time. His bride will have to wait a few months before joining him. This will be rough on them I know, but they knew that going in. They are luckier than most as he is not assigned to a ship and will have shore duty. Of course we all know with the Navy, things can change in a minute.
I do really miss the comradary of the Basic Training group. It wasn't the same with A school, I guess because we could communicate with them directly. I sure could use some of that now. I just joined the Guam Mom's site. I hope they are as supportive as all of you always were. The thought that tomorrow morning at 6:00am I will be watching my baby walk away from me for 3 years just breaks my heart. I am excited for them that they get to have this experience. They plan on using their leave time for traveling as much as possible, means they probably won't be coming home any and I can't blame them. But in less than a year's time he graduated high school, joined the Navy, got married and will have moved to Guam. In the middle of this his oldest brother, a 2nd Lt in the Army moved to S Korea. He is stationed in a camp not even a base. He is Infantry and is 10 miles from the DNA. I know there are a lot worse places to be but it still is dangerous. He hates it. He left the same week Tommy graduated boot camp and still doesn't' have his personal belongings. He lives in an efficiency type one room apartment. From what I have seen it is very ugly and depressing. My middle son is hating it having bis brothers gone.
Sorry did not mean to write a book just wanted to catch up. Please write back if you get this and update me on your Sailor. Thaanks
