Laurilyn,
We are from MI.
Nice to meet another Nuke Mom! Especially since both our "kids" be going at the same time. Is he as anxious to get going as Gabrielle is?

Brenda - my son leaves for BC on 3/8 and is also going into Nuke! Where are you from? We live in OK

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers Michelle. I also think of and pray for you
and the other moms here.
Today was a bitterweet day for us. Gabrielle's 19th birthday ! So excited and proud of her. But wondering when I blinked...it seems impossible that she is 19 and will soon be headed to BC. It seems that we are trying to squeeze every ounce of time out ...I have been doing great with everything until her birthday today....

Roni, You are so correct trying to get your son running, etc. My son Jonathan went to BC last July and he struggled because he did not work out enough. He is in A school in California (and will be home for Christmas!!) but he has reinforced w/ his brother, Andre (who is leaving for BC in March) and Andre is up every morning at 4:30 and off to the gym by 5:00 every day now. I guess it needs to come from a peer or they don't listen! Even if he doesn't work out-he will be fine. He will be very tired but they will not harm him. Remember it is their job to get them in shape.

That is going to be hard spending the holidays without our children. I feel for all our young men and women serving our country who are away from home during the holidays. Another sacrifice they are making.
I keep telling my son to start running and working out every day otherwise he is going to be in for a rude awakening at boot camp.

He is eager for the call, but would enjoy one more holiday season at home. I also have a six month old baby at home and I think he wants to be home for his brother's first Christmas. His last, his brother's first. He usually travels to other family members and splits the holidays. This year he has disappointed many telling them he's staying home. All that aside, he would jump at the chance to enter BC early and I wouldn't mind. I don't want his excitement to fade into doubt or dread. He's ready and I want to support him, even though I prefer him home at least one more holiday.

Hi everyone,
My daughter is scheduled to leave 3/9. She is a Nuke.
She is so wanting to get going... She is working hard on PT .

How does he feel about this? Jarell's recruiter told him in September that there was a possiblity that they could move his date up to October. He wanted to spend 1 last holiday season at home, not knowing when he would get to come home, and said he would rather wait until January.

My son got a phone call from his recruiter this week asking him to keep his phone on him at all times. The recruiter told him he could call him anytime with an immediate ship date.
