- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Needed to learn more about it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- My son has made a very wise decision and after meeting and talking with his recruiter he will do well. The hardest thing for me right now is learning to let go and knowing that he as started on his on journey in life - sending light and love and yes, the tears will flow but they are of pride and joy that I have been blessed with such a beautiful young man.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

- It's ironic, I have carried my sons letter with me every day but it is at home today. I will give you more details when I go home and get letter but know that I and my family laugh everytime we read it. Only a few had time to write they are helping each other he wrote lots of encouraging advice to his younger brother who is in DEP waiting to leave. Let me see if I can figure out how to chat in private. Ha Ha typing on tiny phone keyboard is no fun.

Thank you, I have been trying to figure out how to navigate around the site I think I have it now. I'm so glad you got your letter. I received mine on Sat. 9/10. We have a small post office and everyone knows everyone else. When I saw his writing I was excited and said to Post master oh my gosh did you see this....she just looked at me laughed and said yea Trace I put it in the box. She was waiting to see my reaction. And of course I wrote to my SR and had to tell him about it I'm sure he will get a laugh from it.
