    Ooookay…phone call #2 was soooo much better than #1!!!  He sounded great and said he and his peeps are all doing better. He’s still sick, but pushing through. YAY!  He’s happy to be learning cool stuff…fire fighting, firearms, etc. I am THRILLED he’s doing better. ❤️

  • Chipmunk

    Rolo's Mom - That is great news! 

  • belovedbyHim

    Yea!  Phone calls are the best!  They almost always are doing much better by that 2nd call.  They also almost all have the "Ricky crud"  it's not going to kill them but remind them that if they truly feel unwell it's OK to go to sick call if they need help.

    Today is the day! Our daughter shipped. So very proud and a little nervous! Anyone else in the same boat (no pun intended).

    Happy Tuesday!

    bhmom - woohoo!  Let the fun begin!  Remember to answer ALL CALLS you get.  Although now they can call from their cell phone so it's a little easier lol.  Just remember the "I'm here" call will be later tonight - and it will be quick!  They are speaking from a script.  Just holler that you love her and she's got this!  Then be prepared to hurry up and wait!

    We've got you!

    bhmom-She’s going to do great!!!  Sending lots of love and support your way. 

  • MomofJoseph

    bhmom - Big virtual hugs are coming your way!  Your daughter will do great (and so will you!)  

    My son shipped out almost exactly two years ago.  :-)

  • bhmom

    Thanks all. It means a lot to have a group who has been through it and is so supportive. You guys are the best. 

  • mego24

    @bhmom My kiddo shipped out 8/15/24, so I'm about 12 days ahead of you! We just got our first post card last night and it was so good to hear something from him :) Big hugs!!

  • Trey

    Hi and Welcome bhmom

    Sept will be 3 years for his PIR for me.. She will do great.. There isn't anything they don't teach to pass.. even swimming for mine.. Keep busy, write letters, time will pass, hopefully quickly for you..

  • bhmom

    Wow, a postcard that soon. That would be great. It is crazy I had less qualms about her moving the mid west on her own earlier this year than her shipping out today. Time to cut the cord and let her knock it out of the park. Hope everyone has a great day!

  • joe-mom

    bhmom - She will do great! As others have said, we are here to walk alongside you and help see you through this crazy time. All the best to your daughter.
