I can well imagine your fear when she questioned her decision.  My son, Will has not gone through that yet, but I am always worried something will happen to effect his enlistment.  I am glad you have a good recruiter and others to support you.  Be strong!

Know how you feel, Seems like my son had to jump through one hoop after another, but some of his own doing- like getting tattoo makeovers to cover questionable ones and such. He is now leaving in about 3 weeks. Then he has a grand father who was a Marine fighter Pilot- so my son is being told aviation or aviation support rates are only thing worthwhile.

My son is going in as Seaman apprentice and leaning towards gunner mate or Quartermaster. Thankfully he has a Chief recruiter, who came up the same route. Its been 33 years since I went through Army Basic training and served as a Infantryman, and tell him its a "grunt" job and looked down by much of other Army occupations - but would do the same thing over again.
