Jodi-alumni Ship 4
Hi, Nanci, Josh is just a little younger than your son-he turns 18 on the 30th. It hasn't hit me yet that he may be leaving in just 3 months. It seemed like a long way off when he first signed up. His best friend, who lives with us, is also trying to join. He is supposed to take his test next week. If he gets in, I will go from 2 boys to none in a short time! His ship date has changed 4 times but as of right now, it is still 7/3. It's cool that your son has wanted to join the Navy for such a long time. Like you say, most kids change their minds a dozen times.

Time is definitely starting to fly by. I'm trying to plan a going away party for my kid, and he's not cooperating...too frustrating! He wants to just have it at our house, but there's so many reasons why I don't want to do it at home (no a/c in the living/dining room, etc., etc., etc.)
It will happen, but he's throwing roadblocks, and I'm going to have to let some of them go...
