In the Navy...

Sweetie, I can't tell by this post exactly how you feel but I know you are feeling some pretty strong stuff here. G's older boy joined the Navy last year. The big difference in Canada is they take their sweet time accepting these boys, requiring tests both medical, physical and intellectual, so we did not have to deal with this whirlwind speed. In fact, we had to wait for months.

And with the situation in the States, military service is a lot more--shall we say, active? than the Canadian forces, so we didn't really have to worry about him being shipped. But we did, anyway.

Still, the military has suited Matt like crazy. Allen may find a place there that he hasn't been able to find anywhere else. I hope so.

I will be thinking of you and yours.
 

Thank you, hon! I agree that it may suit Allen more than anything else ever has. As I told you last night, he's been disqualified until the "ANARCHY" tat is gone/covered, so things have slowed somewhat. Now he thinks it'll be mid-January when he goes in. That's still awfully quick, in my book. I mean, I'm used to him not being around for a week or two, since he doesn't live here, but it's going to be sad to have both of the oldest too far away to get to see either of them on even a semi-regular basis.
 

Blimey. Hope it goes well for him.
 

Blimey. It takes em ages to decide on a job/career/direction, let alone act on it, and he has decided, tested and enrolled in 4 days!

Awe.
