USNA84 and Beachmom - Thank you for your posts as people who have been there and have lived it.
Our son's attitude was as Beachmom stated. USNA will be training for GF as well. He is aware and has told her that this is how his life will be. He will be gone for months at a time as a career, not just for school.
I think they both understood the words, but time will tell if they understand the reality.
Reading about it and hearing about it are entirely different than living it.
