CryptoDad,<br />
Thank you so much for that! It sure is tough to adjust but I am so relieved to report I got four letters since that call. Two were just about the same but a bit worse as the one your son wrote and then two that are very positive and he has gotten himself squared away. He feels so much better and is encouraged feeling that he will graduate and that this was not a mistake. Boy I never imagined the emotional rollercoaster this is. Thank you again that was much needed.<br />

<p>Jodi B, that first phone call is always the hardest. When my son called home in the background I could hear other people crying and such. Also heard the RDC yelling at them that if they kept crying that they wouldn't be able to stay on. Though his voice cracked a couple of times when we talked to him. He did not cry because he wanted to talk to us.</p>

<p>You did great by encouraging him. Just keep that going, it is so hard to be away from home. Doesn't matter the time (thought holiday are tougher), they are in a new environment, people are yelling and screaming at them. Nothing they seem to do is right but it is all for a cause to get them ready for the fleet. That first phone call is always really hard (talking from personal experience-I told my mom, I made a huge mistake and was ready to come home). It is so hard to hear your child crying and not be there to fix it. </p>
<p>Hopefully, the next call you get he will feel more confident about his surroundings. It took a little bit for my son to fill like he was finally understanding how things worked. </p>

I know. I keep telling myself no news is good news but it’s definitely a challenge to be patient . Just try to stay positive as much as you can and hang in there !
