Mo, I went through the bootcamp thing alone too when I was home but my choir and my friends at work were a great support to me. I would send emails to all my co-workers letting them know what he said in letters and they really enjoyed the updates so that they could find out more about military life.  I'm glad I did that because now they always ask about him and I still share.  Even though there is no one at home; they make up for it.  One thing that helped was that before my son left for bc in January he got me what I asked for for Christmas.  A gigantic teddy bear.  I cuddle up to it every night.  I prayed all the time for him and I wrote him a letter every night and mailed it every morning.  It was  a great encouragement to him.  Hang in there.  Keep busy writing him.

Hi everyone, my daughter graduated boot camp 3/25 and is now in A school. She should be done with that in about 3 weeks and will heading to Washington state. PIR was amazing and I am so glad I went.

Welcome Mostele, I found it fun to revive the old art of letter writing during BC. I saved them all too. Emails, texts get deleted. Real letters and cards get saved.

Missed phone calls were hard cause you can't call them back. 

Are you planning on going to PIR? It is worth the cost if you can, seeing them march in; Amazing! 

Comment by mikes mom on June 20, 2011 at 8:58pm

Welcome Mo !

yep I have gone through that three Xs now.. Not fun is it... I am the proud mom of a Navy Corpsman and an Army Combat Medic.. I love those letters and I save each and everyone of them : )
