Hi Lanita, where is MO are you?? I'm in Shawnee Mission. I was sad to see your comment under Mo family...you sound so down. If I can help in any way please let me. I know how you feel about missing your son. I can understand. Where is your sailor and what does he do. Douglas is on a carrier in VA. I have not seen him for 9 months...I have never been away from him this long. It's been hard some days. But he's becoming the man he was ment to be. I have to be happy for him. Hope to hear from you. Leann

I hate to hear that is or was having a hard time. Its alot to deal with for such young age. Hopefully he'll start liking it better. Why won't his CO let him try out for soccer? I think that would help his alot. That doesn't sound right. It was hard not having ryan home for thanksgiving but he and several others went over to my aunts. They had a good time. Hope everything works and and def keep in touch...Thanks about Ryan..Yes we are proud and it was good to see him lastweek.

About me:
Married to my high school sweetheart, into Genealogy, Music, and living the country life.
I am here to support or represent my:
Michael
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid, Was proud, Was relieved, Encouraged him/her
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
At first I was in the scared to death stage. As the time went on, while I was still tense and prayed alot about him passing all the tests, inspections and battle station, etc., it did get better... still shed tears, but it was better. Michael had PIR on June 27, and I couldn't have been prouder or more blown away by his strength and determination to survive...Even at PIR, they were dropping like flies [trying to faint] and he was one of the ones still strong and standing.... amazing, and I'm so proud! He went on to A School in Meridian, MS as a yeoman, and even though its a disappointment to him because he wanted damage control, he has accepted it and is once again, coming out strong.... he's had alot of past problems and with the death of his dad just 2 months prior to him going into bootcamp, I was worried sick..... He is stationed where he doesn't like it, but he is adapting. Now, to get over the homesickness!
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
This was a maturing experience, This was the best decision he/she could have made
