up, up and away...

At this time next week my son will be at MEPS

doing his final swearing-in. We will send him off

with love, prayers and encouragement! 

Today I am mostly excited, ready for his

great adventure to begin! 

I keep thinking about how important it is 

to have the right attitude. I want my son to go

forth with confidence and determination. 

I can ask no less of myself! I want to focus

on the positive and radiate peace as I support

my son and learn to navigate my new life

with a less full nest. It's all good.

Navy for peaceniks...

Who would have thought it? I'm a Navy mom.

I prefer not to discuss politics here, 

but I will confess to a "flower-child" background. 

I even attended a "NO NUKES"

march on Washington, DC way back in the day. 

And what is my son going to be in the Navy?

A NUKE!!!
Ah, gotta' love that!
Nukes work in nuclear propulsion, by the way~
NOT nuclear weapons.

This world requires a military presence. 

We can not pretend that we do not have enemies.

But, if you think all the Navy is about is war
read this about just one of the
 Navy's humanitarian aid missions.

And let me tell you, nobody wants peace

more than a military mom! 

I love my country...
and my son.
