I received a call from my son yesterday, which was completely unexpected since he just arrived Tuesday. He started telling me how he was homesick, etc. I asked how he was calling me? He said he had medical yesterday and they allowed him to call. He started telling me about the possibility to separate. I was angry. This was not my son! A little background...he met a girl a couple of months prior to leaving and he changed. My question is:

If he is going to be separated, when will I find out? I understand that it will take weeks before he'd come home. But he acted like they told him he has a choice...and that he hasn't decided anything yet. I'm just extremely disappointed. He's talked about the Navy for years and I feel like he's willing to give up a dream for a girl he barely knows.

Sorry for such a long post.
