As many of you already know from Saturday..... My youngest son had enlisted into the Navy and was scheduled to leave for bootcamp at the end of August. However...it appears that his contract is being cancelled.... He has received a 4 year Navy ROTC scholarship (tution, books, room/board, food, stiphon) to Norfolk State University to study Engineering and Physics(they have a great Engineering dept). He will spend his summers in the Navy, rotating between a nuclear sub, aircraft carrier, surface ship and aviation until he graduates. After graduation, he will go to the Navy as an Officer for 6 years (he wants to make it a career). We are SO proud of him. However, hubby says that he will NOT salute him - haha. He will be close to home for me to keep an eye on his transition from us to college, but living in the dorm, so hubby and I will have an empty nest. Thanks for letting me share my great news.............

Congrats that sounds great and I know how proud you are of him. It is great that the Navy is covering everything for him and give him an education as well. He knows what he wants and is going for it and that I think is super.
