I know the next few months are going to be so hard - I’m grateful to have found this group❤️ I am welcoming of any advice, support and/or encouragement.
Update: My son graduated BC (2020) & attended A school in GL. He visited for Xmas and now he’s stationed in SD but deployed on USS Russell. Hang in there new moms...I swear to you it does get easier. - I am here to support my

Kristel2400 - Welcome to BC Moms group. I am glad you posted. Hopefully the discussion on how to view the site on your mobile that I linked in the main comment area will be helpful to you.

Kristel2400 - You are welcome!! Going through BC Mom training is unlike anything else that we do as Moms. It is a roller coaster ride of emotions and just as roller coasters in real life affect us all differently, so does sending off a child to Navy BC. None of us are alike and some are affected differently, but we have all been through the process and we learn that we can get through it, and just like our new sailors are stronger for having gone through BC, so are we Moms. It helps to prepare us for the times ahead when we have no communication from our sailors because they are out doing their job and ours is to keep the candles lit, the flags hanging in our yards, and the thoughts and prayers going forth for our loved ones.
