Also, btw, and most coincidentally, the Navy correct my Class 3 malocclusion in '88. Mine required both upper and lower jaw correction. The first month was the worst for me. But I was 23, alone, and several hundred miles from family. All my shipmates had moved on to Pascagoula to Precommissioning, while I was left behind and moved into a single room in the barracks.
Most importantly, that surgery has improved immensely since then. My regular Dentist had the same and we chat all the time about how much better it is now.
Looks like my son will have the same. We begin appointments in January.
Having you both there will be so great for her. I cannot express enough how much it'll relieve her having your support the first few days.
You are all blessed, no question.
Please message me if I can assist in any way.
GO NAVY!!

I have Paul and David to thank for a lot of this. I pinged them both before Emma ever got inducted into the academy for advice. David, because his daughter was at USNA and is now a surface warfare officer, and Paul because of his Navy helicopter experience.
Both of you....Thank you!
Don, Just wow! You were in a world of hurt sir! Upper and lower at the same time, both sides. I have a brother in law that has had that too. His kids also went through it.
Emma looks right now like Sandy the squirrel from Sponge Bob Square Pants.

And OH MY, Cranky does not describe how she is feeling. Not for the faint of heart to be around right now!
