Hi Sea Salt, your daughter will be ok, she has not abandoned her upbringing. Trust that you gave her the right tools to sustain her. She will be ok the Navy has a way of "growing them up". Show her love and support. In conversation with her be selective of your words despite how she is behaving you still want her to keep in touch. Trust me the experience will strengthen your relationship. I learned from experience my daughter was on the Truman having a very hard time with female drama etc. she is now aboard the Ike and doing a little better she tells me "mom I had one beer", I said I'm so proud of you. Had I badgered her she would have cut off communication. Now she calls me asking for advise and I must admit the topics are tough for me to handlesometimes but I rather her call me than than look for answers in all the wrong places. Be her mom she loves you and need you. Just as

Hang in there Sea Salt - just let your daughter know that you love her and will always be there for her but give her some space right now. She may just be spreading her wings a little.....hugs to you momma & you know you can always come here to vent. We've got your back!

Sea Salt, let go. Your daughter is an adult in every way. She is no longer your little girl....and she does not need your advice. She is a warrior...who will be going into harms way and into dangers you cannot imagine. She belongs to the Navy now....to we, the people, the taxpayers. She lives in a world of doing what she is told, when to do it and how long. Her home isn't open to you or to anyone, without permission from those who keep our kids safe.
Perhaps wait for her to come home on leave to enjoy her company. She'll need a touch of home sooner or later. Meanwhile, leave her be. If she gets out of control, her Commanding Officer will handle it. You cannot...not anymore.

sea salt sorry you didn't have a very good visit. My daughter has always been mature but she has grown & blossomed into a beautiful lady while in the Navy. She has never drank & is repulsed by her peers that do so on a daily basis. Just wanted you to know that not all choose the "party" lifestyle

Thanks for the Ombudsman info! My sailor gal never heard of them. Oh and to add to my depressing comment a few moments ago, her BFF came with us on this trip along with her little sister. Neither one of them cares if they ever see her again on how her attitude was with us. She said that's how Navy talks and acts. I don't believe her. I pray each day she finds her way back to who she was.

Very disappointed in my trip to see my daughter in VA this past week. 1) she is not my daughter anymore, she's more sailor which I do not like. Mouthy, rude, drinking, losing her way 2) no guidance so she has a car, a paycheck and doing what she pleases 3) couldn't get a tour of the Truman due to security issues on Wed and Thurs. She had to work Fri, sat, sun so we left Friday morning. I hope the next visit we have with her is more pleasant. :( Feeling depressed. I'm in WI, she's in VA with no adult guidance. Following the wrong crowd aboard the Truman.

Hi all - Happy Friday!
Jacobmom - we just got back from VA & our sailor gave us a tour of the Truman. It's quite easy to get lost lol! We wandered around & around & up & down & in & out & over & around.....even got to see the berthing area. Wow - it's a beautiful carrier. It was hotter than heck & very humid but I wouldn't trade it for anything. So awesome to see where my sailor spends so much of his time. The picture above is us up on the flight deck. If you ever get a chance to visit make sure you get a tour!
