Lisa, I think that's a good idea, it would be great to find a weekend day more of us are available to attend.

I'm guessing maybe we should postpone our luncheon? It's kind of crazy fir you on the coast to drive so far for just 3 of us. And we would need to make the reservation soon I'd more were coming:( So what do you other ladies think? Do we wait for more of us?

Yes, it is a difficult time not knowing what they're up to. I was more relaxed when he lived away from home, but this is more difficult. The letters really help!

Wow, welcome to all the new moms and sub wife! Glad to have you here. This site was my lifeline while my son was in boot camp (which was the hardest thing I have ever gone through)! You'll miss your child so much it hurts. You may get letters from them that make you cry and worry but guess what, they will make it through this experience (and so will you) and when you see them at graduation (which you must attend if possible) you won't believe the change! They stand a little taller, walk prouder and speak with more confidence! My son said that he didn't think he changed but we could all see it! Yes he was still his goofy self but there was something underneath that he couldn't hide. I hope this makes sense!
Write to your sailor every day! If you have nothing to say send a card! It's important that they hear from home. Keep it upbeat and positive. I started every letter/card with "another day, another victory"! My son loved it. When I was out of thing to say I sat down and made up a questionnaire for him to answer and return! I kept it light and goofy. I also sent letters from the dog & cat. Those were actually the most fun to write!!!!
March 5 doesn't work for me but the 6th does! I'll go anywhere you ladies decide. I'm in Hooksett so if anyone wants to carpool let me know. Sorry this was so long......

Hello Mothers of NH--looks like my boy is leaving April 20th for basic and then headed into the apprentice program. Though that would have not been my first choice for him, it is what it is. We have been trying to get him to join the service for years, but he had to do it it in his own time, which makes it a better decision. This is all new to us, and I am sure we will learn as we go along. Glad for web sites like this though!
