As a mother of a sailor I am so proud of the men and women that serve. I am proud that they stand up or the country as a whole.

The alarm clock went off at 6:45, the latest I'd woken up since boot camp began. I didn't need to be down in the lounge for muster until 8, but I needed to chow before then (galley only, since other food places are not authorized when on duty).
