Hey Amber, I wrote on here back in May of 2014 when I went through this with my little brother. It's really tough but you have to be strong for your sister. I cried when he left, I mean he's my baby brother and I wasn't going to be able to be there to protect him anymore. But when I got letters from him in boot camp it made my day, and when they get to call home for a couple minutes it's the best thing in the world. I'm not going to tell you that it's going to be easy, because that's a lie. It's going to be hard, it's going to suck, and you're going to be sad and cry. But in the long run, you have to remember that this is what they chose to do, and it's what they want to do. So you have to try your hardest to understand and be strong for them, as well as yourself. Message me if you want to talk about it! Sisters need a lot more support than people think. :)
Hey Amber! My brother just graduated from bootcamp! Message me and we can talk! As you can see I posted on this page back in December and no one has even commented back...kinda sad!
Does anyone have a brother or sister in boot camp right now?

im aubrey my brother left a week ago from lansing to Great Lakes for boot camp. ive been watching videos and stuff about all that hes going through and im so proud of him for going forward with his dreams of being in the navy. it was sad to watch him leave since he is my older brother and the only sibling that i have but i know he is doing what he wants in life and thats all that counts. so im happy and proud of him and cant wait to get his first letter in the mail and see him in may he graduates bootcamp on my birthday so it will be a wonderful birthday present to see him.
