SCARED!!!

[Char]

Hi everyone,

I have been reading a few post, especially the boot camp ones and the ones where people have been ganged up on and fighting. My son is not accustomed to that sort of thing. Fighting and bad roommates! What is going on? My son is somewhat bossy, but not a fighter (never had a fight in 19 years, except with his own brothers) and no trouble in high school. I'm worried for him, he leaves for boot camp in September but what is he headed into?

Just tell him to keep his nose clean and mind his own business
Lots of kids out of high school is the problem

Hi Vicki,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my son went UA for ten days, out of fear. Now he's waiting for his punishment. Its been hard, he is very bored. Nothing to do and he came home....He went back on his own but he just says he has nothing to do all day.

I would not worry, Navy is way different from bullies in the neighborhood
There is no time for B S anyway and they will be scared to get in trouble

My son left Aug 4th to Great Lakes... he will be graduating soon... I was scared too... He loves it and has made lots of friends... there is nothing going on out of the ordinary... he says they all get along and cant wait for graduation... My sailor is very christian and the church here always prays for the boys and girls there.... put him in the hands of God he will be fine,,,
