Jessica,

He is probably just getting use to everything and very tired. Stay positive upbeat when you talk to him - his next call to you will be much better.

But keep this in mind - he is writing you and tell you things he will not talk to anyone else about. What a nice son to share and he knows he can share with you and he feeling better when he is done writing to you.

Everyone - Have a good Turkey Day and I'm so proud of all of our kids!

got another question. ....
does the USO help with things like stamps or calling cards or hotel rooms for parents for graduation? I am really starting to get depressed. This move is taking way to much money, 600 doesnt go far. And it looks like i wont be going to graduation unless a miracle happens.

P>S> Theresa,
Thank you so very much for telling me about my son when you saw him. He sounded depressed that night when i talked to him. He is such a good boy(Young Man) that I cried through your whole note. Thank you anyway for contacting me.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The USO also provides services to our military in the major airports. When we dropped off our son and his shipmate last year, they were able to go in and get sodas and just rest someplace that was not as crowded. Many of the volunteers are retired military themselves. Go to www.uso.org to learn more.

Hi Jessica,
Not a dumb question. USO is the United Service Organization. They provide aid to all of the military. Are you old enough to remember Bob Hope? he would perform in USO sponsored shows for our troops overseas. I believe they have lounges in airports that service personnel can use between flights. You get the idea.

ok so here is a dumb question what is the USO?

You can go to the USO web site and donate calling cards through them.
I started the progress to join the uso once before, but it is long and you need references... I didn't have the time right then so I just joined the e-mailing list!! lol

Good Morning Everyone...

Welcome all the new folks!!!!!! Listen it is scarey at first and then you talk to everyone and you feel a sense of calm. just know that they are getting fit and learn stuff that they will need to get them thru the next years. My son said looking back it was not that bad. Just do what your told and do your best and you'll be fine. Also does anyone know how we can donate calling cards for the holidays??? I would like to donate some......

Thanks,

Michelle
