hi there..i guess i need to figure out how to change my name on here huh...lok

he is doing EOD but says he is not giving up on being a seal, i get very nervous about him making it but would love to see him achieve his dream.  i try to hide my anxiety about him leaving but sometimes its hard, especially when he starts talking about the dangerous parts of it, but he knows how proud of him I am so that makes it better...

Hi Bonnie - just as an FYI, the moderators on this site suggest you not use your full name as it could compromise the security and safety of the recruits. If you have questions about operational aspects lemonelephant has a great deal of good info and advice.
I would be totally freaking if my son wanted to be a seal! I know you have to be a mix of incredibly proud, scared for the both of you, and terrified that he WON'T get his dream. My son initially wanted to work on the flight deck, and was a good way to getting there - until they discovered that his depth perception was not up to snuff for that job. breaks my heart to think that he might not get to follow one of his dreams, but every single thing that happens in life is meant to be.
be strong and don't show him that you are overly anxious - us being single moms, our boys are worried for our safety leaving us alone and mine was concerned that I'd turn into a crazy cat lady and never leave the house. It made him a lot more confident to realize that I was not going to just melt and become a puddle on the floor when he left.

he has wanted to be a seal for a long time, but hasnt gotten a contract so is doing EOD.  he is very excited about it tho.  im not no much excited because i think of the danger part of it.  and the part that i wont know where hes going most of the time...i will go crazy too waiting for that first call.  he leaves feb. 3rd but its getting closer and closer and im getting sooo scared for him..and for me!  ;)

He seems to be doing great. He wrote a letter to me during P-days (I don't think they are supposed to do that, but my boy likes to push boundaries) and he was really scared. During the Moment of Truth, he felt compelled to confess that he had been diagnosed with ADD in the third grade - a condition we didn't feel was necessary to treat and had worked itself out by fifth grade - but he was honest and was terrified they were going to send him home.
It got better immediately after that. He had no problem adjusting to the new schedule, making friends and taking responsibility.
I, on the other hand, was a basket case until his first call when I could hear in his voice that he was thriving.
He will be a Machinist Mate, attending A School in Great Lakes. He went in with the intention of earning an education since he didn't know what he wanted to study yet anyway. Who knows? He may find the Navy suits him better than he imagined and will stay longer. What about your son?

Hi Bonnie! I haven't seen much ( any) discussion here. I was hoping for a lot of single mom interaction, but most of the stuff happens on Boot Camp Moms page. I'll be happy to hang here with you too! My son left Nov 13 and is just about half way through now. It certainly is a different lifestyle than what I'm used to!
