Yes, stay busy! Start writing letters to him so you can mail them off when you get his address. Make them fun, loving, encouraging and don't tell him anything that will cause him to worry. It's only 8 weeks and after he gets to A school you'll be able to talk to him on the phone almost every day. This is the military and you'll be apart a lot in the future so now's the time to learn how to deal with that.
