DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Evonne;
When my son left on Tuesday, our family cried and cried. As he walked away, and the moments to follow, I thought to myself, my God, No one should ever feel this much pain. It was a feeling that I could never explain to anyone who hasn't gone through it. Received "The call" that night, Received "The box" today. I can't stop missing him and can't get past not seeing him or talking to him.
I feel very over welmed and lost! My son left for bootcamp bound from DFW today and should get there tonight! I do not understand how to find groups or other moms in my area, understand half of the vocabulary and have NO clue as to 8 weeks from now regarding bootcamp! I would appreciate all help...he is my only child and I feel very lost! My husband is working out of state too so I just feel kinda alone. I know I am not but I cried enough tears ysterday I felt I had been to a funeral...I know it may sound silly but I was a single parent for 14 of those 18 years and well he has been my life and evern if I find myself busy doing something it does not change the fact there is a void there ad I dont know how to deal with that either. I am use to having a phone call, or text everyday and its like for 18 years I was full speed ahead and now all of a sudden I am suppose to come to a complete stop! I would appreciate any of you that can help, become a friend or live close to me to give advice or be a friend! I wish I could find some moms in DFW especially Dallas! He left today and borded around 3pm so now waiting for the phone call! I know I am babbling but with my husbdan working out of state and my only kid shipped out today I feel a little sad and a little lonely.
Thanks :-)
