    It goes faster than you think it will.  Send letters EVERY day.  They live on them.  

  • TexasMom

    Yes mam keep the letters going with encouraging words. Helps do much.

  • Kelmom

  • Coach Shelia

    Hi Bonnie from Garland! My son is AOAN aviation ordnance airman and on deployment with the Truman now. Wow! I had to look up what EOD is! Sounds so exciting! I have learned so much since March 2013 when he left for bootcamp too! I'm so proud of him! Keep Calm and Drop Bombs and IYAOYAS are things I've learned too! LOL Sending prayers and well wishes your way today and forever!
  • Bonnie-Codysmom

    hi coach shelia, thx for the comment, im trying to have a smile about all this but its so hard.  how do yall get thru this?????

  • Coach Shelia

    I say daily prayers for his health, safety and happiness and all our children. Actually I say prayers several times a day! I'm training for medical coding but I'm constantly thinking of him. I am just coming around to not feel so stressed. All of us just want the best for them and their Navy Life. I can't say enough about everyone on this website and how they've helped me!
  • BougieRae

    Hello, I'm from Cypress are there any mom's close. My son is in BC right now...

  • roseyj100

    Hi BougieRae, I'm from Cypress also. My son graduated BC just over a year ago and is now in NC. Hang in there! The days go slowly but the weeks will fly by. 

  • VKat

    Hey BougieRae, I'm in the Copperfield area so yes very close. My son left on Tuesday 12/10. When did yours leave?

    Coach Sheila thank you for your prayers. I find myself praying many times a day also for all our boys. I work out of my car so long red lights have become my favorite place for a quick prayer. And YES I do keep my eyes open. LOL
  • VKat

    my son said that there were about 7 ppl leaving with him from houston IAH on 12/10/13. Is there anyone on here with a loved one who left on 12/10 & if so have you gotten the box yet?
  • BougieRae

    VKAT my son left 11/13 days before his 20th birthday. I feel so helpless right now.
  • VKat

    BougieRae, I agree.  I also feel helpless.  I did not expect the box until Monday but now some mom's whose kids left at the same time as mine (12/10) or even later have already gotten their boxes and one has even gotten the form letter so now I'm letting my imagination get the better of my good judgement. 

    With cell phones and texting I think we have all gotten used to talking to our loved ones whenever we want so now it is extra hard knowing that they are going through something so hard and not being able to talk to them about it

  • Kelmom

    My daughter left on Dec 10 out of San Antonio. I received the box today! yay!

  • Bonnie-Codysmom

    where is cypress?  hi bougieRae....have you got your box yet?  my son doesnt leave till feb 3rd so iM not there yet with yall...hopefully yall can help me cope since yall will have already gone thru it...prayers for your son and all in the service...

     

  • BougieRae

    Hello Ms. Bonnie Harwell

    Cypress is a few miles away from Texas A&M University. Yes we received his box and I couldn't even open it, my husband had to. Thank you so much.
  • VKat

    There must be two Cypress's in Texas because the one I live near is a Houston Suburb off of highway 290
