Hello Hunters Mom, this is Faith94. Have you recieved a call yet from your son? I haven't heard anything and I'm lil concern!
Thank you and May God Bless You and your Family!
Hello Hunters Mom, this is Faith94. Thank you for responding, i have printed the VEHICLE GATE PASS TRCRUIT GRADUATION CEREMONY. WITHOUT THIS PASS WE WON'T BE ABLE TO BE ADMITTED TO RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND.
Thank you!
Sorry I was so slow accepting your friend request. We just got back from PIR.
Hi Hunters mom, I know the feeling when they leave for boot camp, it is hard to let them go, my son joined the navy at 21, he was married and could not find a good paying job. He has been in now for 11 years, he is a LPO fireman, he has been gone for 8month deployment, and we hope to see him soon, I have not seen him in 2 years. Once your son is put on a ship, they have their own navy mom for that specific ship. I know it is hard to say goodby, but I know he is making a good choice going into the Navy. I will pray for you both. You won't believe how much they grow in the Navy.
