Daughter flew the roost.

I must be getting old. My oldest daughter just Joined the Navy. She went in about two weeks ago, and I have not heard from her since. I think she was trying to make a statement by joining the Navy. She was born on an Army post, both her mother & I were in the Army, I still work for the Army, and we live very near a US Army base (Fort Drum). Joining the Army didn't even factor in I guess. She is a great kid, I think the Navy got a good one. I know her mother & I are sure proud of her.

    Let me take this opportunity to thank both you and you wife for service to this country. Let me also thank the two of you for raising a patriotic child. I'll keep her in my prayers for a long and safe career.

    Why be a swabbie when you can Go Army?

    Right Ids?

    Anyway, good luck to your daughter, and good luck to you as well.

    Sounds to me like she'll be just fine ....... with good military parents raising her.

    We can't all be Army, gotta have a Navy, Corp, Airforce and Coast Guard to get all the work done!

    Best of luck to her, and to the proud parents!

    Sounds like you raised her right Mr. and Mrs. Trinity. She will be fine. I've found ,and it's hard to do, let them cut their own path as they'll learn quicker that way. That proverb is just a true and holds just as much grit now as when it was penned thousands of years ago.

    TrinityScrimshaw--Congratulations. Any young lady raised in your home was certainly raised right and the Navy certainly did get a good one. Your own personal values were certainly evident during the 18 months that you were my supervisor. My prayers are with you and your family (and of course that motley crew back at the office).

    You should be proud.Wish there were more like her, instead of these red-blue-green-pink haired, pierced tongue-lips-eyelids-navel-nipple kids with their pants down around their knees.

    If I knew then, what I know now.
