- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Needed to learn more about it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- There is a lot to learn and I have to be patient. I also have to try to step back and listen more as she is being treated as an adult and so much is expected of her. The Navy is her life to share with me and it is so awesome when she does.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Thanks again and I'm anxious for Sunday! We haven't heard anything from Kyle since he's been in Newport.
I couldn't see the response to KP's question about the iron and board. We're bringing our son to report to his RPI NROTC unit on Monday the 17th, and I wondered the same thing. He's asked for an iron and full-size ironing board. He's in a double in BARH - should he bring them and will there be room for a full-size board?
Thanks!

Just checking in. Went to SO last week. It was great - very informative. Met NROTC officers - they were so pleasant & helpful. The kids all seemed to really enjoy it and get something out of it, as well. Our son is a bit disappointed in being in Burdett Ave Residence Hall as it seems far removed, but I keep reminding him that it is very big with its own dining facility, so he will be there with lots of kids, not a just a few students they 'stuck' somewhere. He's ok with it, just not overly thrilled. He has emailed back & forth with his roommate who is also in ROTC. They seem to have some things in common. I know he is looking forward to all of this - I think he wishes it would just go ahead and get going - all this prep and anticipation gets kind of old when you are 18 and about to embark on this life-changing adventure/experience! I clearly remember how excited I was to move to school. Whole different story when you're a Mom sending your own child off. Large sigh. Already looking forward to Parents Weekend!! Guess I will see you soon at orientation!

Just wanted to say thanks for your emails! We leave tomorrow for RPI and orientation that starts on Weds! It's really happening! We have been soooo busy lately... and I know when we get back the REAL work starts of getting all his stuff together to go. Summer is flying by!

Thanks for the comment about EOD training. I guess it's not supposed to be something we learn too much about ;-) In fact (as a mom) it's probably better that I don't know too much about it for now. As moms, we always seem to be worriers when it comes to our warriors!
