Thomas, back on dry land and was wondering how Rachel is doing? really would like to know.
My name is Chief West and Jim sent me your message concerning your daughter and thought I might be of some help. I have been in the Navy for 20 years and most recently (except from presently) I was a Navy Recruiter (hopefully not a bad thing in your perception). Your daughter, she picked AECF according to your profile. Was this her choice or was it "thrust"upon her for whatever reason? This will tell me where to proceed (if you wish me to). Also, what else can you tell me about why she chose the Navy in particular - was it first choice or defaulted to other plans? I will await your reply - either for further communication or you can just tell me that you have this figured out. I hope I can help.
R,
Chief West
It makes a parent worry and fret when our kids make these kind of decisions, but all will work out in the end....so try not to drag yourself down!
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful informatioan for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 2000 members, Dads, Moms,Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers,girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked . There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your Daughter rachel on her enlistment and please thank her for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.
