    1Proudmamma,

    I see you recently joined Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you.  I know this group isn't as active as it used to be. Pretty much all our seasoned moms have moved on as their sailors are either well established or veterans now.  I still have one son and one daughter active and they are both doing well.  

    You are certainly not alone in your wide range of emotions as you prepare for your daughter to leave for bootcamp.  I am a Navy Veteran myself and I already had a son enlisted when my youngest daughter decided to enlist.  I tried to prepare her as much as I could possibly do, but I soon learned I wasn't prepared for how hard it was going to be for me!!! I stayed strong for her twin sister, since they never went through separations before, and always spoke positively and proudly about her decision.  But every minute I had alone, I was in tears.  I will tell you it gets better, but it is something we just have to get through!!! And there is no time limit on how long it takes.

    Certainly join the bootcamp moms group as that stays active and so much has changed since my daughter enlisted.  Her twin enlisted 4 years after her sister, but she went to OCS after graduating college.  She is still in and is making the Navy her career.

    Feel free to reach out to me if you have some questions, concerns, or just want to talk!!  I am still always here!!!
