My husband was in the Navy, that's how we met. The Navy is a wonderful, safe place for our sons and daughters to grow up. I honestly don't think you could ask our kids to make a better choice :)
Hello! It's so nice to finally connect with a few moms whose recruits are leaving on the same date! I've known since November(ish) and am glad to get to connect.
Thank you to both of you for replying! My son also depped in in March!
It is almost 3 am here in California and I think realizing that it is only 16 days until he leaves officially is finally hitting me...HARD! I have been crying my eyes out for the last couple of hours and I can't seem to stop... :.(
Has it hit you ladies yet? I was trying so hard to be strong and honestly thought I was going to be ok, then all of a sudden tonight... Ugghhhh :.(
How are you holding up? Me?--not so well. It kind of goes minute by minute. One minute just fine, then the tears start. This weekend wasn't bad--I've been finalizing plans for Steven's graduation/going away party on the 21st.

My son leaves from Pittsburgh. It's too soon!!!! I'm kind of a wreck. He is spending all of his time at the firehouse (he's a volunteer fireman). Things have been so hectic this past week that I haven't had a chance to catch up here. I am pretty clueless about all of this.
Jane our sons are in the same division. It has really helped me being on here with other Moms that are going through the same thing. Hope everything is going ok for you. Today is 2 weeks since Stephen left and I am waiting for a call. I have heard it could be any day of the week and any time of the day. So afraid I might miss the call so I carry his cell phone everywhere I go. Does this get easier?

The waiting is just the worst isn't it? It is bad enough letting go but we have been in countdown since March.
