Yes Angie, my husband goes in every single evening and is always thinking of ways to improve his page. I tell him its not fair, I'm not as computer savvy as he is....... but he enjoys showing his page off to me when ever he can, lol. He is so proud and gets a lot of questions and support from the site as well. I just had surgery for kidney stones but when I get a chance I tell him I'm going to outdo mines, lol.

Hi Michelle, sorry to hear about the computer problem I know how frustrating that can be. I will be praying for you that everything goes well and that you will feel better soon. I know how you feel, I was at the hospital yesterday with surgery for kidney stones and I too hate hospitals. Sending good wishes your way. God Bless.

Lynn make sure he takes his social security card and any banking information he has. He will be able to keep his wallet so anything you can fit in there, like book of stamps, small address book with family and friends addresses and tel#s, if not you can print it and then fold the page and put it in the wallet, some spending money (not much, like $20-$25), very important get him a calling card and have him activate it before he leaves. If i think of anything else I'll let you know.

Ruthie is officially a recruit! Note: I found her picture taken with her recruiters last December....seems a lot longer ago. I got to speak with her while they were waiting for the bus @ O'Hare, then got "the call" (ya, I think she read from a card; someone else mentioned that too!) at 7:00 her time, 5 my time. Her group actually missed their bus & Ruthie said they got yelled at, then had to wait for 2 hrs. for the next one. oooops. Oh the stories we will be hearing about when they can call next!
Michelle....hope your computer gets better & more importantly, your treatment goes well for your thyroid :-) I'll keep prayin' for ya re: your 15 y.o. driving!

Jor-Jean, Jenny and Angie, I want to thank all ya'll for the wonderful stories and advise. I know that Aug. sounds like a long time away, but I know that every moment I spend with my boys is treasured. I try not to cry as I realize that as the seasons go by, this will be the last we share together. I try not to cry in front of them, I just watch as they sit there doing what ever it is they do.
Again, thanks for all the support, and words of wisdom.

Kim my husband is a member of Navydads.com and also a member here....it helps him have information and support just like us moms, wives and girlfriends do. We are so lucky to have these sites to help us on our journey along with our Deepers, Recruits & Sailors.

Thanks Gulf Coast Mom for what you said, yesterday I was having one of those down days and missed my recruit so much. I guess as you said it will better. Thanks again for sharing with us.

Jenny, I'll be praying for you and your son today. I know how you feel...went through it couple of weeks ago. When you get back home and are up to it just start writing him, send lots of positive re enforcement and you will get his address very soon. We are all here for you, stay strong. Your recruit has just started a wonderful adventure.
