Hi. I just read your comment. My son graduated from BC on March 30th. He's my baby and I too had a hard time when he left. I cried in the car on my way to work, when I heard a song or just at random times at the store, post office, at work. The first couple of weeks are the worst, but, yes, it does get better. Then the letters will start arriving from her in a few weeks, a call shortly after.
My boyfriend was the same way. He was like "get over it". He didn't understand.
When you find out her PIR date, there will be a group set up that you can join and others with sons/daughters with the same date will join. There will be groups set up specifically for her division. It's a tremendous support system. There is also U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command on Facebook. They post random pictures of the recruits every week.
Remember, no news is good news. Right now 8 weeks seems like a long ways away, but before you know it, she'll be graduating.
So hang in there, send me a friend request if you'd like to chat.
