MY SON!

Hi All!

I finally got my photos approved, so here he is my pride & joy!

We could not be more proud of him, Mark has made so many accomplishments since joining the Navy.He is no longer the shy little boy!
He has reenlisted for 2 more years! He did this while on board the TR, where he will go only the Navy knows right now but I am fairly certain he will succeed at what ever he undertakes. Doesnt sound too much like a Proud Mom does it LOL.......

Have a blessed day. ttyl.

Hi Sandy! Nice to meet you. That is so cool that you got to see your son swear in at a White Sox game also! It was pretty amazing and made me cry! I am so proud of him and his decision to join the Navy; I hope it is everything he expects it to be! Your picts are great! You must be so proud. The pict with the sailors lined up at the edge of the ship is quite impressive, WOW!
How long has your son been in and what does he do?
