<p>Thank you for the eloquent statement. My son is in A-school now. While I miss him, I will not whine about his absence. His service and dedication mean a great deal. We raise our children to be independent adults. That means not wailing when they leave, at least not in front of the new sailor. Do not make your adult offspring feel guilty about leaving, support them instead. I chose to leave a N4M Facebook group as it became an Agony Aunt forum with nothing more than 'Poor me!

We raise our children to be independent adults. That means not wailing when they leave, at least not in front of the new sailor. Do not make your adult offspring feel guilty about leaving, support them instead. I chose to leave a N4M Facebook group as it became an Agony Aunt forum with nothing more than 'Poor me! My sailor got deployed! Whatever will I do?' complaints. I say support them. Smile and wave and if you must cry, cry at home. Be proud of your sailor.

<p>Absolutely! My Sailor is really making his way in this world overseas. I'm so proud of my son-who plans to be career Navy. </p>

<p>I am trying to do the same with my Depper son. I truly believe this is a wonderful decision for him... I will miss him dearly and wish I had him close for a few more years but I did raise him to have wings... and hopefully he will. Thanks again for the wonderful message!</p>

<p>Very well said!!! We have watched our daughter leave, fall and have helped her back up mentally and now soaring again to acheive her goals. Our son has not yet left for boot camp but has made all of his contacts and decisions for his new life adventures. We are so proud of both. Every parent needs to cut the apron string. I know it is hard but step back and watch, they will and will do amazing things in life.</p>

<p>I'm just kidding. Couldn't help but make a comment on your "play on words". Your comment as always is right on. :-)</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>i must admit that I had overwhelming emotions when I saw my son and his division on graduation day. My heart was in my throat and tears just rolled from my eyes. It was the only time I cried, through all of BC. I think it was purely a sense of Pride in my Son.</p>
