My husband was an aviation electronics technician in the Navy. He served honorably and the experiences I gained and the memories I have of those times as a military wife are something I cherish. I've told my kids they should go to college because I believe it will benefit them throughout their lives. What they do after college -- whether they want to be grunts carrying a rifle, sailors onboard a ship, go OCS, or choose a civilian profession -- is their choice, not mine.
Hey, so was I!! Great profession and a great job!!! To this day, I owe the Navy and the training and experiences I received for everything that has happened since I got out of the service. I know that Abby doesn't want to hear that but, I don't really care. I have enjoyed a great life and a great career mostly because of my military service. I'm proud to be a shipmate of your husband's.
