SR having a hard time
So guys I need some guidance, got my son's first letter and he is not doing well. He said he hates it and can't do it anymore and wants to come home. Is this normal , he said that he has tried to talk to the RTC and the Chaplin . I am just heartbroken for him. I can't make it better. Does he have any options to come home. I really want him to hang in there and stick it out, I know it is just such a hard change for them. Thanks for the advice

Saying lots of prayers for your recruit. Please keep us posted. I can imagine how you are worrying with very little communication to ease your mind> THe waiting is so hard.

Ok so I need prayers please. We got the I am coming home call. Something about administrative separation. I don't know what it means for him. I just don't know what to do. Or what he is going to do now. Ugh! He only had 26 days left.

So sorry masterchefsmom, I hate being in the dark all the time. Is there anyone you can call to get info from? What does administrative separation mean? It's has to be rough on you and your SR .I will add your family to my nightly prayer.

You have our prayers! Please, please remember- everything happens for a reason. Whatever that reason may be, it's better that it happen now than at a later time. If he were to be homesick or depressed while deployed- that would be even tougher. Hopefully- he got more than a taste of what bootcamp is all about. He will hopefully be able to decide to go back later- if he so chooses. God has a plan for him, Mom!
