<p>Very good information for a father wondering what his daughter is going through. We said goodbye to her this past Thursday and she has been on my mind constantly since. My imagination has been running wild and this information goes a long way. Thanks so much for posting it!</p>

<p>My grandson just graduated (September11th). I graduated 46 years prior (eventually left as HMC). He told me, at graduation, that the experiences I was able to share with him gave him the ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and to persevere. This article does, perhaps, the best job I've seen of the what, the why, and the outcome of boot camp. BZ!</p>

<p>Thank you for reminding me of how much I still use my Air Force training that I received many years ago. It helps for me to remember this so that I can rest knowing that my daughter is learning skills that will help her throughout her life.</p>

<p>I'm going to see that it falls into the hands of my SR. There is absolutely nothing I disagree with, and some very excellent food for thought for the SR and Sailor alike (not to mention civilians). And it's realistic, no pie-in-the-sky, no sugar-coating. There's too much sugar-coating in the world today sometimes - nobody's wrong, nothing's wrong.
