Something that I never thought about while my children were babies or even while they were growing up, was one of them joining the military. My oldest daughter, Sophia, after much thought has decided that this is the path that she wants to take. My husband and I are behind her 100%!!
So far she has taken her entrance exam and passed with flying colors, has taken her physical and is now in PT (physical training) for the next couple of weeks to get her accustomed to sit-ups, push-ups and running. She is in very good shape so I believe that she will do just great on that. Her Sergent has been bragging about how well she is doing, which is a good sign.
Sophia will be leaving us to go to Basic Training on December, 29th for 9 weeks and 4 days. This is the longest that I will have ever been away from one of my babies, I realize she is 19 yrs. old, but she is still my baby!
When she graduates from Basic Training, we will all get to see her at graduation in Oklahoma. After that she will leave straight away for AIT in South Carolina for another 10 weeks and 3 days to receive her training in the field that she has chosen, which is Paralegal Specialist.
We are very proud of the decision that she has made and I see great things for her in the future. Please pray for her safety during training and beyond.
I am one proud mama!!
