Second Boot Camp Blog

I haven't posted since my son shipped to Great Lakes. I have learned a a lot inline an the last three weeks. The support of the people in the groups on line and here on Navy dads has been amazing. If have a question just ask.Somebody knows the answer. The new friends that have been made and continue to be made daily is overwhelming. The story you hear about the navy being one big family is really true. My son is set to graduate on October 3 and I am looking forward to putting real faces to the people i have liked status update and shared info about kids on the same ships. The  best part of my experience in this journey I believe is getting to meet the people who are going through the same thing and all of us learning together and sharing with each other just as our kids are learning and sharing together. I am proud to have a son that chose to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and join the U.S.Navy. They both were proud of their service and he is named for both of them. As he approaches the mid point of boot camp and the challenges intensify the strength he will need to complete these tasks he can draw from their spirit  as they watch over and guide him.
