My son just turn 19 and he has decided to join the NAVY. He is getting ready for BC. I am happy, nervous, sad, it's like all of my emotions are all going crazy. I look at him and i just feel like crying , I want him to go, live his life. I know that the Navy can give him a life and the experience that he may not get at home, we really never been apart.
