South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Spent the last 4 days in Chicago for my son's graduation from the naval station now he's 8n Pensacola Florida till mid April

 

Congrats! I know you are proud.

 

Proud of him. I cant speak for the Navy as I'm Active Air Force going on 17 years now and I can say that we take care of our own. Depending on how you raised your son, he may have just spent the last 10 weeks being the most stressed he has ever been in before. I am only basing this on what I went through. Granted times have changed so that may be a bit outdated at this point. Again, I'm not Navy but if it's anything like I went through, I spent time as both the student and later as the instructor. The Armed Forces will take care of your son and give him all the tools that he needs to succeed in the classroom but the biggest thing that the student needs is to know they have the support from back home. I've had to sit in a few academic performance boards for both mine and other students and just through casual talking with the student, the majority of these young kids that were having issues academically was the perceived feeling that nobody cared about them back home. Make sure you convey to your son what's going on in your head. Just that little bit of effort will mean the world of difference to him. He just needs to know that the hardest part of his service is behind him and that it only gets easier from here on out. But I do have to ask... what's up with that 3rd photo?

Hell yeah I am

 

Oh I raised him good and he was good in camp I stressed him out at home to prepare him for what's to come . Yea I think the 3rd picture got cut and 8 didn't notice it

 

Congratulations! It’s just the first step. He’ll turn around and wonder where the last 20 years went. I know I did.

 

Just posting this here for awareness.

I love it up here in Gvegas.

 

The roadwork shit show has moved up to the Cowpens/Gaffney area. The I385/I85 interchange work finished up a few years ago. Traffic isnt so bad to me. I visit Charleston and Savannah for work regularly and traffic is way worse there, and also its pretty bad in the devils asshole(Columbia).
