My daughter a recruit about to leave for Navy boot camp training
I got up this morning and looked at all the beautiful pictures of Navy families proud of their Sailors. And I it inspired me so much that I needed to blog this. My daughter is just days away February 4, 2015 and everyday for me personally is bittersweet, I'm so proud of her bravery and ambition to want this. This was her goal for the longest yet I hate to see my baby go, but her Chief Petty Officer recruit visit our home, with such a sunny spirit and gave us the best reassurance of my daughter being in protective hands of the Navy.130522_0006.jpg

Sometimes it's better to keep pics to yourself. Think of PERSEC.

Thank You, "I understand" I am so grateful though, to see and understand that "everyone" is emotionally feeling the same emotions of pride, and bittersweet feelings of our loved one's going off to fight and maintain the freedom of the citizens of our country and maintain the safety in our country as much as possible, I guess that's why I am so proud to be "acknowledged" on this site as a Navy mom's recruit going off to be a Sailor like her Dad.

And sometime you want to share. If the administrators of this site wanted no pictures, it would be easy for them to wipe out al 470,000+. Use your own good judgement as to how much your want to share.

Hi, Thank you all for great information for me to know. All I am is just a proud Mother who is perceiving the fact that her baby is leaving less than four days from me, and her family and I just pray everyday for her to be safe and that God will guide her through the boot camp process and A school training for Master at arms. I bared 28 hours of labor having her 20 years ago and now she is going to serve America's purpose. I have a lot to be proud of and I am so honored of all the pictures of loving families that I see who lovingly honors their loved ones and are proud. What a great picture of a proud recruit being sworn in to serve the country, like my daughter. "Love the picture".
