I was home today and I got the "box" from my son. I hurried to open it expecting that he put a note inside, but it was only his dirty clothes, Lol! I smiled thinking its almost like he is still home leaving his things lying around. It's been 7 whole days since he has been in BC and I have been on YouTube and this site since then...I am both nervous and excited. I am concerned about his swimming because all he ever learned to do is float and none of my children ever went past 6 feet of water. When they were young they always wanted to go swimming however, looking back they never swam they just played around...I miss him and I am looking forward to seeing him progress to the next stage of his life. I am estimating that his PIR will be around June 23rd or the 29th then he will be off to Ft. Lee which is only two hours from my home, so he can come home on weekends. Thank you all for this site it is a godsend :)

That's awesome, I couldn't wait for my box to arrive and when it finally did I sat there staring at it. No note for me either, my son is very dry! My son didn't know how to really swim either but the most important test is to floating one so if he is a pro then he is set!
How lucky that he is going to be hours away from you later on, I am sure he will want to go home on the weekends.
