[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 193127, member: 84"] Ok. My experience........Mom, worse thing you could do. And I wouldn't unless you were absolutely certain that her depression is severe enough that she would do something drastic. Because if you do, and it's not, and she's just using you as her sounding board...........OMG her Sgts and such will make her life H*ll. If they're telling her to go back to training, odds are they have good reason. If she gets hurt, they have to cover her medically. And they'll pull her back off duty. If she gets hurt enough she can no longer be on duty, they handle it. I know you only want to help. But husband spent 14 yrs Army. They don't appreciate meddling parents. And that's how they'd look at it. They also don't like Army wives who speak their minds either, but that's a whole other ball of wax. (which is why husband stopped at 14 yrs) You raised her to be strong. You raised her to be independent and to think for herself. The Army is going to reinforce all of that tenfold. If she has problems she needs to go to her CO. [B]She needs to handle it. [/B] This is her dream. I think she'll resent you for getting involved in the long run, if not in the short. Just my 02 cents. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
