What a big step he is taking! His adventures are just beginning! I would like to see the looks on his new buddies faces when he tells them about his wrench turning mom who loves hot rods and put a cadillac motor in a monte. They will all be wanting to come home with him for a visit.:3dSMILE:
He'll only be about 90 minutes from me. If he needs anything that I may be able to provide, please don't hesitate to ask! OK?
That's a fine looking young "hero" you raised there Barb.
Please give him my Congrats also along with my appreciation
for his Patriotism and for his service to "our" Country.
"God Bless you all and God Bless America"

Hey, Barb, thanks. We haven't had a "Charlie report" for quite a while.
Glad to hear he went Navy. My kind of man!

Congratulation to Charlie, and you folks, too. I know how proud you are of him.
Like Uncle Bob said, this made me smile. It also took me back some 52 years, when I looked sort of like that on graduation from Navy Boot in San Diego.
thanks again guys. he called today. he is really hungry for news of the world. spent $157.00 on 2 steak dinners for him and his friend last night in chicago. i asked him was he crazy. he said " no mom. it was the first human food i have had in 9 weeks. he wants to spend halloween in salem mass. and be home for a couple of weeks for christmas. my hubby and oldest son are driving up to see him in conn. in a couple of weeks and take him some dvds. he wants american grafitti and airplane with leslie neilson. he has already told his buddies about our car building. they were very impressed. I also told him of all the well wishes and advice that you guys have sent his way. he said that as soon as he can get to a laptop on base he is going to show his buddies all the very cool builds that are going on here.
Boot camp food leaves a lot to be desired so I can understand the steaks. He picked a field not many can hack and I wish him all the luck in the world as it takes a special type of person to be a submariner. It's obvious he was brought up well, kudos to you and your husband Barb.
