A little about me:
Live in SC. I am mother of one and my son will be leaving for boot camp Monday Feb 14, 2011. I am not use to being away from him so this is going to be a real emotional train ride for me.... any help would be great.
I am here to support my
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Was proud and encouraged it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
Tears, and more Tears of sadness, joy and pride.
Happiness to get a little tiny note at the bottom of information letter about graduation, cried like a baby when I got the box. Very proud of my son.

So emotions are a very big part of having a child enlist and leaving home. Never knew they could all come in such a manner.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Well tomorrow will be a week since my son left for BC and the tears and the sad feeling still there but are getting a little easier has I sit here and think back to the last two weeks that he was home it was great. I got married on January 29, 2011 and my son walked me down the asile and gave me away to the most wonderful guy, it was such honor to be walking with him at the reception we had a mother -son dance and it was so emotional for me because I knew in less then two weeks I would be…

Teresa, After all of this time I just read your story about your recent marriage!  Congratulations to you and your new hubby!!!

I noticed the weather was bad there also, I texted Doug but haven't heard back from him.  He may be sleeping because he said he had watch last night from midnight to 2:00AM.  We had tornado warnings where we live this evenings, but looks like the weather is clearing up thankfully!  We have had so much rain that I can't remember a day it hasn't rained! 

Hope you have a great evening!

Teresa, Don't know how I missed your message from last week!  That is so cool that Doug and JC are roommates!!!  How far are you from Mississippi?  I was hoping to go down there over Mother's Day weekend, but Doug said he has "duty"  all day Sunday so I guess I won't.  It is about an 8 hour drive for me.  I know they have to be thrilled to be finished with Great Lakes!!!

Teresa, Thank you so much for thinking of him.  I still am hoping to see everyone next Friday!

Thank you Teresa!  If I understand correctly, he will still have several chances to pass the PRT before graduation, so I have my fingers crossed he will still make the 4/15 PIR!

Teresa, Good morning you can print it from this site: http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp don't forget you need the password that you got from the form letter to print the pass. I look forward to seeing you at the meet & greet next Thursday.

Teresa, I know exactly what you mean.  I have felt the same exact way this week.  It has been nearly 2 weeks since they could call, and his last letter I received wasn't really very upbeat.  He just talked about how homesick he was.  I have written him trying to be encouraging, but it has been hard.  Sorry, I know I haven't cheered you up, but I really do feel the same exact way.
