Boot Camp Oct 2014
Hi my son leaves for boot camp on October 7th, 2014. Anyone else out there with that date? I am already starting to have some anxiety. Excited for him- for the next chapter of his life but my heart is feeling broken.

My son left Oct 7,2014 as well. He will be 20 in December.We had no real clue he was going to join. He just came in and said he had enlisted. It took over a year for him to get the job he wanted so we had time to get adjusted to the idea. He originally wanted to follow his father's footsteps in law enforcement. Our good byes started Sept 20 with a party for him with his friends. He lived with us and his two brothers so there was an at home party , then there was the 3rd party with his other older brother and his family.
He stayed in a hotel the night before he shipped out. That night was the hardest for me. We drove him to the hotel from DEPS waited for his room assignment then took him to dinner, just the 3 of us. The next day we went to the airport to see him off. He did not wants us to go to MEPS for the swearing in. His flight got delayed several times before he finally departed. We got a phone call from him from the airport to let us know he had landed safe. Our next call came at 12:15 am. The final call.
We are still waiting for the letter and his things. I know when we receive the box I will cry. He is my youngest , I am excited for him and know this is the best course for his future but it is still very hard for me. I can not wait to learn when his graduation will be so I can busy myself making plans for it!
