Final days of boot camp

I just got a chance to hear from my son Mike, he called and said he was doing well and very excited to be getting ready for an "All Hands on Deck" exercise and becoming a US Navy sailor! then PIR on Friday. He mentioned 2 weeks ago he may get a chance to play volleyball. I had to pull it out of him because he is deflecting any personal achievements especially in a team sport;however he did say his div 338 team won the championship & beat the special opps team in volleyball. He also told me a little about the tear gas exercise. I was lauging as he talked about coughing and tearing up. I know its a serious exercise but he tells a great story. The US Navy is the best thing that could have happened to him. I am proud and excited for him and his career choice.
