Navy Dads

Day before swearing in...

Sitting in the parking lot waiting for the recruites to get there wasnt so bad.... Walking her up to the recruiter to turn her over was bad, daughter laughed at me, recruiters asked if they were really that ugly.... I wanted my kids life to be easier not harder.... Sitting at my desk at work andI cant get shit done..... Calm seas, good hunting dad

welcome to the journey Clay! It's been almost 5 years since Kat shipped off to Great Lakes and I've finally come to terms with her gone and out in the world. It was a little easier because she was with her mom and I had gotten somewhat used to the idea of not seeing her each day...still....
Now her journey in the Navy draws to a close as her enlistment is up in April. She has found a life of her own...she will do well I'm sure and has choosen to stay int eh Seattle area...has an apartment and serious boyfriend of eight months...plans for school in the fall. You'll adapt...you really have no choice int he matter!! In retrospect, the years have FLOWN by...I cannot believe it's been that long since I flew to Chicago for her PIR....and then to repeat the process with her brother!!!!! You'll end up like me...and EG...and all the rest of us crazy NavyDads....Navy stuff everywhere and soon you'll know as much about Navy life as our kids do!! Enjoy it and share the experience!! May you have fair winds and following seas!!!
