One of the side effects of the San Diego trip was that it cemented in Brianna's mind her decision to join the military. Josiah took her to meet his recruiter, and they got the ball rolling. She spent one day at MEPS taking the ASVAB. She spent another day there, having a physical. Then she had a session with the recruiter again, where she selected her job.
The following week, it was back to MEPS to swear in!
It's official. My little girl has joined the Army. She leaves shortly after graduation next year.
I'm excited for her. I'm glad that she can just enjoy senior year, knowing she has her plan nailed down, and doesn't need to worry about making huge decisions any more.
And on a lighter note, how many of my kids have to join the military before they name a battleship after me??

Wow! What a family! You're raising some awesome kids!!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm a little in awe that I get a front seat to the development of such interesting people. Sometimes I feel like they turned out okay in spite of me, not because of me. But I'm super proud of them.
DeleteWow! That is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at her choice, but she's watched enough of her brothers go military to have a pretty realistic idea of what it entails.
DeleteCongratulations to your daughter! The military has done great things for the people I know who've joined.

My eldest son has been in the Air Force since 2010, and it's been a good fit for him. :)
DeleteWhat a cute haircut! What job did she pick?
