DEP-Leavin' for bootcamp in February

This group is for N4M members that have a loved one leaving for bootcamp in February.I will leave the year open so that even future Deppers leaving in the month of February of any year can join.Lets share stories, information, concerns, and questions

My son left 2/17/15

My son left 2 days ago on the 17th......it has been such a struggle not being able to talk to him on a daily basis. I am hoping this will get easier and I understand the reasons behind it, but it still does not make it any easier. I waited up to get the "I have arrived" call, it didn't come until 11:15pm my time so 1:15am Great Lakes time. I really have no idea what they do the first few days of boot camp and it is so hard not knowing. I was really glad I found this group to be able to talk to others going through the same thing.

    Agreed.  My niece got to RTC the same day.  I received the call at 11:30 p.m..  There's a website on Facebook that posts pictures of recruits.  I haven't seen February 17th yet but last week is up.  I'm hoping they will post the 17th and I might get a picture of her.  :-D
