Welcome Kathleen, how are you doing? we have just 24 more days and we will see our son's!! It's been a long day so far and it's only 12:00 noon here, lol! feeling a bit under the weather and missing my son, we are close and he is my youngest, so feeling the emptynest too, hahaha! clearly only something a parent can understand. Hope you are doing good and that you are getting letters and a few phone calls. take care and I will talk to you later.
Finally have someone from NJ!!!! Talked to Joe last night and he said how excited he was to be going to the beach on Saturday!! Seeing him on 9-7 graduation he was so pale! Always being inside and if outside, covered up and his hat. So hope he will enjoy his time on Saturday!
Hi Kathleen. My son is at A school in Great Lakes. He is undesignated for now. He finishes there on the 17th of Oct and then on to Pearl Harbor. He just called the other night and told us once he gets there he is being transported (somehow) to a port (somewhere) where he will be on a ship for 7 months. I asked him if he was excited or scared, and he said 'a little scared, I think'. I told him that's because it's the unknown and to know in your heart, this is what you have been training for. Hopefully, he will come to terms with it and become excited. He has always been my kid (I have four and he is the second oldest, at 23) that has not been good with change.
