I'll get this going...share about you and your SR too! We are from Ohio. Our almost 23 year old son is at boot right now. Going into Electronics Technician or Fire Controller as a reservist so he can come home and finish his college degree in aviation management. We have an older son who is an Infantry Marine so we've been on this military journey for about 3 1/2 years. Believe me, PIR will touch your heart and the pride and love you have for your new Sailor will be like none other! I saw my husband cry for the first time in our 28 years together at our son's Marine graduation! We also have an older daughter who is a teacher and a younger son who is going to college to become a pilot. Looking forward to getting to know you all better! And am praying for all our SR's!

Hello...
We are from Southern California. Our 21 year old son is in BC and God willing heading to school for IT. We have a few past generations of family members who have served in different branches, and now our son. Proud and excited for his journey and future serving our country. Looking forward to PIR and hoping for warmer weather - the kind we are used to. Haha. -

socalmom21 and KS...isn't it interesting that we all have sons who are little bit older? So I'm curious..why did your sons join the Navy at this point in their life? For our son, he had talked about enlisting when he was in high school but had a gf at the time that talked him out of it. Now he decided to do reserves so that he "could do something bigger than myself "'. He didn't go active duty right now because he's getting close to finishing his college degree and wanted to come back to finish that with some help from the GI bill. What are your sons' stories...if you care to share?

Hey Letibeth...I have a Marine too, as well as our almost Sailor! Cool! My 2 boys greatly respect each other's military service, but also have a good time teasing each other about which is the best branch! Then we throw Grandpa into the mix (he was Army) and it gets interesting at our house! It will be a big adjustment when it's just you and your daughter come January.

Yeah we are first generation American born. My kids are second on my side and first on their father's side so we don't have a military background. Last year my youngest brother became an officer in the air force. That was hard for my mother and then my son left in November and my daughter in January. So now we have air force marine and navy. My kids already tell their uncle he is in the "chair" force. It has been a big adjustment already the holidays and then he left on my birthday and his birthday just passed by also. We have good days and bad days.
