Nathaniel's been looking into the Navy for quite some time now. We didn't expect it to be such a lengthy process but after months of doing all the things we needed to have done the time is finally here. Nathaniel will be leaving for Jacksonville on Monday and Tuesday he will enlist and receive his career. If there's not a job opportunity available that we're happy with, we will walk away from it. He's hoping to get into the medical field since he works in it already although it's most likely not in demand so we've made a backup list of jobs we're going to look at..well he is going to look at. Apparently wives are not allowed in making life decisions in the Navy. His recruiter gave me his word that he'd call me before anything official went down so fingers crossed that he's an honest man.
I know there's some controversy in whether we're making the "right" decision for our family. We've done much research and have prayed thoroughly about this and it does feel like it's a really good opportunity for our family. Although it'll be difficult having him gone a lot the next four years, I know he'll be blessed for his service to our country.
If there's a good career available then I am so excited to start this new adventure and if not then I'm just as excited to start Plan B :)!
