Squeekerz - then you know exactly how I feel. This woman told me my behavior is unacceptable for the US military and that if any of my behaviors (crying to strangers) got back to the boot camp it would cause serious problems for him  and his division... something like that. She told me to toughen up and get used to it. (among other things). I couldn't believe it. hahahahaha, Well, I say good for her that she is so perfect. Not all of us are. We can only strive to be!

Does anybody know where my son's cell phone charger is?!?  Gotta put my best mom-skills to work and find it!  A quick look this morning before work didn't do it!  :  )  

That countdown clock is unbelievable!

 

And KCsmom - I agree with all the others have said.  Keep talking to us!  We want to follow his progress.  We know he'll be like Diane's son and a year from now, all this will be one of the stepping stones in his life. 

 

Better get to work!  It's a short week!!!! : )

Squeekerz-that is horrible that they would tell you that. Everyone has their place in life. Sometimes we try several different things before we find that place. It will all come together and you will both be happy. Many prayers for you both. Much love and hugs

On a different site people were telling me that my SR was scum for seriously thinking of quitting. and that I needed to basically "put my big girl panties on' .... :(  I thought that was uncool...  It made me want to stop asking for advice completely.

My son is going to Groton and as of June 5 he did not know when he was leaving.He thought he may have the whole weekend but he would probably have 'watch" a time or two. He wanted to know how long we were staying or able to stay.

I am expecting to hear this week.....charging those cell phones and other items yet???? Are you packed????Have someone to take care of the dog and whatever other animals you may have???

I am going to check Walmart for that black folded bag. Thanks for that info.

One nice thing...we have all generated a lot of business for the US Post Office!!!! No need for them to worry about their jobs!

um, personally.... I'd open it for him. I'm sure he will be tired when he gets home and you're basically doing him a favor. Right?

And by the way, I really do appreciate being able to vent my irrational fears of my son 1st: leaving me and then 2nd: not hearing from him and 3rd: hearing about his injury. The ladies on the website have always been non-judgemental in their responses to everyone. Not just me. It is truly a place to go and get stuff off our chests.  I posted some fears and thoughts on a different website and a wife of a SR basicallty told me that my behavior was  not acceptable. But she did offer an ear if I wanted to talk. Um, yeah, about that? I think NOT!  hahaha.  I know sometimes I respond emotionally. But other than those few emotional outbursts I am truly a functioning member of society! My goodness.  It's very true that unless you have stood in my shoes, you don't know how you would react.  I wouldn't have been able to truly empathize with another mom unless I went through this. thanks to all of you for truly being empathetic. 

I saw a comment on here several weeks ago and I couldn't believe what i was reading. But, I didn't respond because afterall, this is a place to chat and vent. The women that did respond to the comment provided an environment to continue to let that mom/spouse/family member let her feelings vent. It definitely set a good expample for why we are here.

to donna646--you better go and run about 10  miles, mow your relatives' lawns, or shop for goodies to take to PIR!!   DON'T GIVE IN TO THAT LETTER!!  YOU will get to read it eventually.

Imajagtoo:  my son doesn't know yet but I think he's expecting to leave within hours of PIR.  I'm hoping that RTC is correct because we really want to be able to spend some time with our sons, don't we?  I joined "Sub Moms" recently and some moms said it's possible for them to leave somewhere between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m on Saturday morning. The suspense is killing me, lol.

Good morning ladies from the Happiest Place on Earth.
I read all the post and first of all KC'smom please remember that we all care and could never not want to hear your feelings, thoughts and how you SR is doing.
Squeerkerz-please take care of yourself and keep us updated.
I'm excited. My mail lady sent me a message that there's a letter in my mailbox from my son. Although, it is addressed to my husband. Last week he got one and when I got home from work I mowed the lawn so I wouldn't open it. But, today the lawn doesn't need mowing. What shall I do? I get home about 1 1/2 hours befor him.
