Well today definitely falls under the special events category! I had the pleasure of watching my son take his final swearing-in at the Nashville M.E.P.S. center and start his Navy career..
I am very proud of his decision in choosing to serve our great country and it's very exciting seeing him take his first steps to truly becoming a man and standing on his own two feet. Coming from a family of people who have served it's nice to know he will continue that tradition...
I had enlisted twice but unfortunately was not able to serve due to a few medical issues that I guess they didn't feel like dealing with lol... I just accepted that military service was not in my future...
Now I am a proud #navydad and I am excited to watch him grow in his new career!

Congrats. Robert. I had that pleasure the first of july. My Son Swore in at The Kansas City MEPS. The pleasure of seeing that and for him to follow in my footsteps sends a lump in my throat. I can't imagine the emotion that I will have when PIR comes around in August. I wish your Recruit the best of luck and a very successful NAVY Career.
Congratulations and welcome, Robert.
