WOW! I'll be praying for you to get through these next few months.. I have a 16 year old still at home who's talking about the Air Force. I actually don't know what I'd do without him still around.. But I have 2 years to prepare myself for when he leaves the nest:)

Yes. I will be at graduation. If my calculations are correct it should be September 14th..? My husband, my mom, & his mom will be there too.

You got your "I'm here" call last night?...

Hi! My son also left for boot camp on July 17. I saw your post in the Christian group and wanted to say hi.

I'm actually doing great! Trying to stay busy. I do work outside the house & that is helping.. Yea. The first call, the "I'm here" call, doesn't last more than 15 seconds:(. Mine was about 10 seconds: "Mom, I'm here. You'll get my box with information in it within 2 weeks. And that's all I've gotta say right now. Talk to you later." They're moving them along like cattle because the RDC's have SO much to cover!.. Yes. A letter will come before a call, usually about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. I think the boys' first letter writing opportunity will be Sunday, but it could be the following Sunday:(.. I'm a planner too, Girl, & it's driving me CRAZY not knowing much!!.. Have a awesome day!

Hello Jordansmom,  nice to meet up with someone who is on the same time line with our sons!!  Waiting for the letter to come soon, so I can write and send him phone cards. I am looking forward to touching base with you!

Hi Jordansmom! Glad to be your friend! I just found out my daughters info ship 09/Div 288, yaay! Do you know yet?

Yah, Finally found someone who's Son is on the same Ship and Div.!!

Hi, yes I am glad to have found someone whos son is on the same ship/div as my son.  My son also left on the 17th,  I received the call that night and yesterday received the box, but still no letter :/.  Cant wait for that so we can book airline tickets, but I need to confirm the PIR date first. There is alot of great information on this site for PIR weekend.  I am doing as well as can be expected, Simon is my only son so it has been way too quiet around my house.  But as long as he is ok I will be ok :). How are ya'll adjusting? his siblings must miss him as well. It sure is a hard adjustment.  I wrote a letter to him last night and told him I connected with a mom and gave him your sons first name and told him they should look out for each other as I am sure they all are doing anyway. Well, we will have to keep in touch and I will for sure see you in 7weeks :)
