I have a personal interest in “Support our troops”

Sharing with the special people on this site I wish to express some pride and some concern.
I was blessed to have only one child carried full term. My daughter tasted much of life with many adventures and experiences in her short 19 and half years. Having lost my only child in 1989, drunk driver, after she was married and had an 11 month old little girl of her own, (I will note her here as PK) who has grown up to be such a spitting image of her mom. (It is a bit scary at times)

PK has graduated high school with 3 years of ROTC and since joined the Navy. The military has been part of my family’s history in all generations. She graduated basic training top of her class and I’m so very proud of her.
Currently ready to graduate training that puts her on a flight deck of a air craft carrier (now stationed off the east coast). PK has chosen aviation as her job of choice.

Having been raised by her father I have not seen her for 2 years and now she is headed off to Japan. At least I hope that is the plan knowing the military does make changes as to what or where she might be needed.
I know most have interest in this topic, weather children or spouses or relatives are in military life.
I simply wish to remember our troops and support the family’s here that might be a part of this forum.
I salute you, each and every one of you, and hope we can share our fears, pride, stories here as well as this too is a very huge part of what we live with in this complex life of ours.

With all we deal with in life CD’ing is difficult for both sides, but it is not the only issue or circumstance or situation we have in our lives, but another part of life that makes us who we are as we walk through all we do each day as we try to cope with or for some, tolerate.

PK is now age 19 and has met my DH and they clicked, hitting it off with instant friendship. Although, I am not sure if we will be sharing this information with PK, perhaps one day, maybe I can get some feedback on this.
PK is my only living blood right now and a huge treasure in my heart as well as worry in her new endeavor.
Thank you for listening to this as I have seen so many here express and vent such personal things that makes our lives so complex.

Heading to sea aboard a carrier seems like the ideal ship to be on.

However, I was in the Army during the last two years of Viet Nam, and was never deployed overseas. I reckon Virginia could tell you more about the Navy, as she flew F-8s in the Navy.

Here's hoping she stays safe throughout her naval career.

I want to wish PK all the best!!! They say that the flight deck of a carrier is one of the most dangerous places to work anywhere. Well, I would tend to disagree as the flight deck crews that I dealt with were the consumate professionals. They knew their jobs and did them professionally. I am sure that the procedures that PK has to follow are even an improvement over ours.
Tell her we all thank her for what she is doing and she has to know her Mom is Oh so proud of her!
Love,
Virginia

I salute PK and all Americans in our Armed Forces, and say a huge THANK YOU for defending our Nation and preserving our freedom and independence!!

God Bless and keep PK and all our troops safe! My family are Marines and have all managed to stay alive, including my niece who was seriously injured in Bagdhad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will keep PK in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong!

Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. As a parent of precious children myself, I can only imagine how difficult it must be to know your PK is where she is. Even so, your obvious pride in the great job she has chosen resonates in your words and I know that will bring you great comfort while she is away.

I wish her well and know you'll be looking forward to her homecoming when that time comes. Stay strong, stay proud. She's doing a great job.
