HeatherT, we are all here for you.  Even with now dealing with my two boys and deployments, I think bootcamp was my hardest time.  Hope you find other parents.  I loved having that contact and we still keep up with each other to this day.  Has his box of personal items come home yet?  Also, call his recruiter and get his address.

He went to Great Lakes where all the recruits go now for boot camp. We are on day p-3. I am dying inside. I miss him so much. I am counting down the days till PIR.... I am assuming it is the Friday before THanksgiving or the Wednesday before..... either way I will see him arround Thanksgiving!! I will have so much to be Thankful for this year!! He plans on being an MA and will attend A school in San Antonio. I am so glad I am able to connect with Mom's on here and wives etc... It helps to have the support system. I have found so few with recruits leaving from SC. He had 5 fly out with  him from all over the state the 18th. But, have not found parents or loved ones on here from them. We were the only fmaily at MEPS or the airport for them. :( It so broke my heart!!! I can't wait to here from him so I can start sending letters etc.

Thanks for the encouraging words. May God bless you and your Sailor!!

HeatherT, I know how hard it is to let them grow up!  I still see my three oldest kids as the little children they were sometimes.  I wasn't ready at all for mine to join the Navy and go so far away.  I'm used to it now, but I still miss him terribly.  He won't be able to come home again until next December, and so this will be my first Christmas without him (we were fortunate that his A school closed for Christmas and he got to come home then). His older sister moved to Oklahoma in May for grad school, so she won't be home, either.  Where is your son heading after boot camp?  Mine is a corpsman.

Thanks for the great Welcomes all!! I have actually been on since March when he first signed and became a depper. But, just found the SC page. He leaves in 5 days :( having a hard time with it. But, I know no matter what I gotta trust I raised him right and he will be just fine. LOL!!! I guess the mommy in me just wants him to still be my little boy and not the awesome man he has grown into and still growing into. I look forward to meeting and talking with many of you over the next longest. Thanks for being such a great support team!! Love our Sailors and SR's!!

Welcome, HeatherT...I'm from the Greenville area and my son has been in one year as of last week; he's currently stationed with a medical battilion in Okinawa, Japan.  The boot camp experience is hard on us moms, but if you use this site, particularly the boot camp group at first as Tamme mentioned, you will get through it.  I would run home every day to talk to people who were going through the same thing I was.  It will go fast, and then you will be able to communicate with him. 

My husband found a job!!  He started last week.  Yay for him!

Hello, HeatherT I am in Florence and my son Daniel has been in the Navy for 2 years and is stationed in Norfolk. I know just how you must be feeling right now and I can tell you that you will meet a lot of Moms on this site that will help you through the next weeks and even years to come. All the Navy Moms are great and will answer any question or point you to someone who can.  God bless and keep in touch.

We are in Charleston but wanted to tell you to join Boot Camp Moms.  It is great.  Then when he gets iin boot and you find out his division, you can try to find a group or start a group with that division.  We all here can help you with any questions though.  Good luck and God Bless.

Any Mom's or family from around Lake City, Florence areas?? Looking to connect with others in the area. My SR leaves on the 18th for BC so I am just starting the journey. :) Looking forward to all it will bring. Hope to meet some of you soon!

Thanks and God Bless!
