I have sent  kid to college and sent a kid to bootcamp.  Bootcamp is MUCH more difficult.  It is a completely different emotional experience.

 

I get to send my daughter off to school 8 hours away  in a few weeks. I  am not going to like it but it is a piece of cake compared to BC.  My second son ( sailor is son number 1)  found a full time summer job near his school.  He plays college football so he only was able to come from for a month- but I liked that month.  He got the job, daughters college came into town to do her registration and parent orientation and my sailor shipped all in the same 2 week period.  Emotional overload! 

On Friday I get to see all 3 of my kids.  I wish it was together but I will take what I can get.

To all those moms n dads, boyfriends, girlfriends and such...one thing I hope you remember is that your sons and daughters will HAVE changed a bit!! You may have noticed it with the phone calls and letters! They have grown not only emotionally, physically but matured!! You may want to shower them with hugs and xxx's..but one thing I shall always remember is an retired sailor telling me "respect who they are and what they have become and be damn proud of them!:....Just a heads up! As a retired military wifey...seen to many times parents, families, etc. rushing towards the one they love and the shock on their faces when the sailor stepped back from the hug! That magical moment will come in due time...God Bless them all! Safe travels!

To Lorie...yes I have experienced what you are talking about.  My Sailor just passed Battlestations and his P.I.R is Friday.  He's also a college graduate, Electrical Engineering (before joining the Navy)  He was my oldest and first to go away to College... and it was about as hard then too because he was so young 18 years old, moving 3 hours away and being on his own for the first time. The hardest thing while he's in boot camp is not getting to stay in touch with him for weeks and also knowing he's not coming home now after P.I.R and moving far away for A School. As a Mom you still worry about how they are getting along doing but in different ways.  I am so very proud of my Son....but over the top proud to say he is a Sailor of the United States.

I always told my daughter, "Even when you are old and gray, you're still my baby"

I think every major point in their lives will be hard on us (sigh) but at least they are still our babies (ha ha).
