    Hello,

       Since I am unware of what happen to your loved one I can't make an accurated statement.  Just alittle background about myself and daughter.  She went to college for classes in the Morning and came home that night and said she was joining the Navy.  It blew my mind and it has been along hard road for both of us so far.  I cried almost everyday before she even left for bootcamp.  My health isn't very good and I had a hard time accepting that she was leaving and for the lenght she was going to gone.  Once she arrived a bootcamp she found out she wasn't physically prepared enough and a day before she was to gradurate she didn't pass her run, and then from that point on she developed stress fractures and has been in the in the sick every since.

    Proudsistah,

    When my daughter comes home maybe she can get together with your sister. We live in Stafford Virginia which is not too far from Norfolk Virginia.

    well my daughther made it through boot camp, and A school and the other training.  Now she is on her 1st deployment in Afganhanstan.  She has had a tough time over there too.  She reacted to the shot she got before she went, caught I virus while there, just got over that and now she ran over part of a bomb with her truck.  She is alive but having headaches and flashbacks however not bad enough to not do her duties.  I continue to have a tough time with all this process, miss her like crazy.  Hopefully things are going better with your family now and all has settled down.  Just thought I would catch you up on what has been happening here.  Take care,
