MY SON JUST LEFT FOR BOOT CAMP 2DAYS AGO
My son left for boot camp on Tuesday, when he got there he was able to call me at 10:07 pm, the phone call was so short I could not even ask how was the flight! He was able to tell me that he got there safely, that I would receive a box with his personal things and that he would call me in about 3 weeks.... I wish the call was not so late and rushed... I know that this is a new experience for him but he sound so nervous. I received an email from his recruiter yesterday with his mailing information. Do any one know if the address will change or can I start sending mail to him. ARE THERE ANY GROUPS FOR MOMS WHO SONS/DAUGHTER WILL LEAVE IN SEPT

My son is also on Ship 11 Div 369 we received the "official letter" on Saturday his short comment stated they have not started physical training yet as of last Thursday. have you come across any specific training schedule, a week by week agenda? He mentioned it was going relatively quickly but no mention of exactly what they are doing. I mailed some letters on Sunday and it is hard to try to motivate when I am not certain what he is expected to do each week. I have read about the battle station but that seems to be at the end of the 8 weeks.

Hi! My son left last Tuesday from Syracuse, NY. He called at ten pm also. A very short call but great to hear his voice. I just got his clothes box today. I sent him a letter but haven't received his letter to home yet. It is tough but I'm proud of him!
