Andrew is a bit older than most recruits, he is 24 and has two college degrees, one in Econ and the othe in International Business, he is going in as an Enlisted rank to begin with and then will go to OCS at a later date.

I am a true troop supporter--I love our military--I am a memebr of Soldier's angels, adopt a Marine, and blue star Mothers--There is no soldier, sailor , airman or marine that I wouldn't go out of my way to help.

Not a problem at all, I totally understand. Your time needed to be spent with your son. I don't know if you know what to expect but you may not hear from him for a few weeks. I wrote to Shaun all the time and I think we got 2 or 3 letters from him and we did get our first phone call after about 3 weeks. Hang in there it will be fine. I am here for you.

Just wanted to say that I am also from Muskogee. My son joined right out of high school after being in the DEP program for a year. He's been in over a year now and I miss him terribly. The funny thing is my daughter married a marine in July. He is in Iraq until late February or early March and she is here with us until he comes home. At that time she will be going to Hawaii, where he is stationed and I'm pretty sad about that. I thought it was funny that we both have Navy sons and Marine son-in-laws.

Hi, I was wondering how you were doing? You were one of my first "friends" when I joined this site. My son is in his 3rd week of boot camp. We have received one letter. He seems to be doing ok, bootcamp is not as bad as he thought it would be. I can't wait to see him in Nov. How is your son doing?
