I teach. I have been a teacher 39 years. I have been blessed with 3 beautiful daughters, ages 39, 33, and 19. I have 2 fantastic grandsons, ages 18 and 8. My husband is a former Marine, but has also served in the U.S. Army and Air Force.
I am here to support my

Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Needed to learn more about it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
that they seem to care about their own. The recruiters really worked with my daughter to try to ensure her success in Boot Camp.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

It is nice to talk to someone else in the same unit. But I think my daughter got injured and is now in a separation unit. She hurt her back on Friday or Saturday. They were having to run with their Seabags full of their stuff on their backs and she heard a loud pop when she was running. I hope she is able to finish, but I am not sure. Her husband is the one that told me this happened. I got a letter from her today and she sounds very happy. She is the Medical Yeoman of her unit.

Thanks for "befriending" me. I have 5 daughters... no grandchildren yet, but I've joked that they'll all be boys.
