Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
Go with your child when they talk to the recruiter so that you fully understand what they are promising them.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
I am also getting very excited! I am anxious this week. I think they are going through a lot. I did get a call from my son on Thursday but that seems like a lifetime ago! His girlfriend got a letter today and he said he has pink eye:( We are driving to Chicago. My father-in-law lives in Cincinnati so we are stopping there since it is halfway for us. Are you flying or driving? When does your other son graduate? I can't imagine having 2 in at the same time. My heart goes out to you and what your going through. Susan
Sorry it's taken me 5 days to reply! I hope your son is feeling netter by now. I got a letter from my son and he said he had pink eye, yuk. Aren't you getting excited?? I cant believe its just 9 days now. When he left it seemed like it would take forever. Have you printed out your gate pass yet? I printed mine out today. We are planning on taking the shuttle from the hotel, but i want it just in case. What hotel are you staying at? Are you going to the Meet and Greet at the Ramada on the 16th? Susan
I didn't get a letter either :( One of the dads from Ship 4 Div 019 said he got a call yesterday and that the Battle Station is going to be on Monday. I haven't heard anything for over a week now. I'm so stressed wishing I could hear something, a phone call, a letter, anything. But on the bright side, next week we can "SEE AND TOUCH" them in person.
