What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:

I'm very proud of her decision to serve in the Navy. It's hard to know that I wont be able to see her everyday, but I trust in God that He will take good care of her and watch over her. I strongly belief that my lovely daughter made the best decision for her future!

    Thank you, Gil.  Prayers are always welcome and appreciated.

    Gil, thanks for the encouragement.  I feel exactly as you did.  The kid is my best friend and now he's gone, leaving a hole that can't be filled for Mom and I.  I just have been praying for him and writing letters awaiting his address so I can send them.  You would think I would be ok and understand.  I went through the exact same place and submarine program as he is/will do.  I think it makes it harder knowing what he'll face.  Not sure.  We're proud, but as I stated, we had a different plan for him and he threw us a curve ball.  He was a district champion in the 100 fly in swimming.  Just thought he was going to go to college.  We're adapting as best we can.  My biggest fear is that it will change his bright disposition into a cynical Navy man.  I knew plenty of them.  God bless your daughter and family.

    Hi Gil, --Thanks. We live in Rye, NH which is a small New England seaside community. My wife and I walk the beach nightly during the summer months with our Golden Retreiver, Teddi.  She took it with her IPhone.  It was one of those warm colorful evenings you want to last forever.  I am already looking at the pic longingly --we got six inches of snow last night!

    Good afternoon, Gill!

    I live in PR and my son went to the Navy for almost 2 years now ( november).

    He is an AZ, he likes his job and he is deployed.

    I would like to live in Fl, have other son who lives in Orlando.

    Thanks Gil. Most of these were taken while he was TDY to MA (master at arms) . For his first fourteen months on the ship he was TDY, yet expected to test as an IS for promotion. I was lost when he told me that. Never worked in your field, yet your promotion is nesed on it. As well as other qualifications. He got his surface warfare pin and was working on his air warfare pin when I spoke to him six months ago. I'm sure he has it by now.
