Thank you! EVERYTHING you wrote helps me! Today is a HAPPY day - he's with me at work studying his training booklet. He has one of the last four meeting nights with his recruiter tonight. I feel like I am on a rollercoaster... :-)

Have you received letters from your son? I was wondering if they were allowed to write home or not? I thought maybe on Sundays they might have time to do that. I have watched some of the youtube video's on bootcamp and they have also been very helpful. I know he is learning alot of useful skills and attitudes.

No I haven't received the form letters. It looks like some of the other moms have already received their box of clothes but I haven't received that yet either. I will be a week on Monday. I heard it might be two weeks before I got anything. The recruiter gave me the address so I can write and I guess I should send a phone card unless they can buy one. His recruiter thought it was ok to take more than $50 so I hope it was cause he did.
