Last year, my son decided to follow in the footsteps of several generations of men in his father's family, and join the Navy. He went through his boot camp training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Needless to say, boot camp alone took him through many transitions. The rigors of such difficult, structured training cannot be easy, but his dad and I were very proud that he was one of the Honor Graduates!
He is now stationed in Oklahoma and working hard to accomplish the goals needed for advancement through the ranks. Having grown up as a "Navy brat" he has an idea of the commitment and hard work required to live the Navy life and succeed at it. As a Navy man, his life will be one that is full of transitions! New bases with new jobs every few years, and lots of moving around. Since he has a touch of the wanderlust, I'm sure he'll do fine!
He has already done a lot of growing in the last year, and I'm confident that there will be more personal changes coming in the future. After all, he's a Navy man!
