My son makeing it thru this was a big thing that I have taken personal pride in I was a single parent with three kids two girls and a son. My personal navy carrier was cut short as a result of haveing to become a single parent. My son came from a modest back ground as a family of four we had a household income of less than 25k. I have personaly been diagnosed with a condition that makes it very dificult to do simple things like writeing. I was a seabee and the can do additude helped make it thru. I recived a grant for child care and was featured in the Dallas area in a fund raiser as a single parent. I also have a relationship with God, that helped me thru th e tough times. I consider myself very fortunate and just this past week I was contacted to participate in a study deep brain stimulation for my movement disorder. With the right aditude you can grow from anything. I am very proud of my son considering that my son scored a 99 on his asvab. It makes all of the strugles seem worth while. The right additude and faith in God. Im sure there is something good that can come from this trial.  God Bless you and your family

Michael I have been foloowing this in the background. I'm so glad to hear that this seems to be taking a good turn for you and your family. I in turn am also sad to hear that your son has gotten himself into this perdicument. My family and I will be keeping him in our prayers and hoping for the best possible outcome.

Hi Michael,

I am very happy for you to hear that the files are not classified. I did not know what to say when reading your post earlier. As parents, we all wish the best to our sailors. My little daughter just finished prototype early this year, she enjoyed a month-long vacation with us, then reported to the base for her first deployment at sea. I started missing her again, my tough little daugher!

I wish and believe that your son will move on without any problem.

Michel I am so glad to hear that the files were not classified, this bothered me all day. I didn't quite know how to respond to the post when I first read it. We don't know why our kids do a lot of the things that they do but we have all made mistakes. Im sure that we all wish that our kids could learn form our mistakes and not have to recreate them for there selves. I pray that your son does well and can move on from all of this to be productive in the future. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

We're not sure when he will be home.  He said they moved him today and have to take inventory?  Sandy and I are really having a hard time with this.

Hi everyone.  I wanted to follow up to my post from last night.  We have spoken to representatives from the Navy and they have reviewed the files that our son sent to us and other family members.  We are very relieved to let you know that the Navy has determined the files were not classified.  This has at least brought us some peace in this very difficult time for us.  Thank you to those who were open and honest in their replies and the advice given.

As difficult as it is to read your comments, they are appreciated.  We do know this is not good for him.  We found out last Wednesday he was getting discharged, but the email came to all of us 3 days after the decision was made for discharge.  He is still in Goose Creek and he told my wife today he is being moved to...I believe the DDT Unit?  We are truly devastated, disgusted, ashamed and just wonder if he does get caught, will we be notified?  Do we really contact the FBI or the Navy?  We have wondered if our son has exposed his family to trouble by doing this.  Has he?  What do we all do if this is the case?
