Can you private message me the date you have for Battlestations?  I understand that you have a different date from the one I received.  They do go in numerical order (except 800 and 900 divisions) and so there is a method.  Thanks!

Hi all.  My husband, Jason, left for boot camp March 7th, also Ship 9/Div 138, Hospital Corpsman, so also A-school in San Antonio!  Received his box 7 days after he left, still no form letter or otherwise.  Such a relief to meet y'all on here!

Hi Marci

You are doing better than me in figuring out the site.  It must be something like facebook but I do not use facebook so I am completely in the dark.  I might have my daughter come over and help me learn since she is very much a facebook person.  She is my oldest and Jarod is the youngest. Only have the two of them.  She has her own place as she is 28 and has been living on her own for about 4 or 5 years now.  So I am not only going through missing Jarod because he left but now we are experiencing the empty nest syndrome.  Oh well we will get through this shortly.  Each day gets a little better.  I guess the delayed entry program helps the parents as well as the kids that have signed up for the Navy.  I had 8 months to prepare myself and I think it reallly helped.  Oh by the way thank you for sending that link to me.  That was so informative and made me feel just a little bit closer to him since I can see what he is going through (sort of).  Having someone to talk to who is going through the same thing really helps and its even better that you son left for bootcamp a day after mine.  Thanks for friending me and I look forward to hearing from you.  Maybe one of these days I will get some pictures posted.  I have some on my camera from when Jarod took his oath before leaving that I need to download onto my computer and then I will get them posted.  Well I hope you have a great day and enjoy your younger son since you still have him at home to help you get through this time.

Hi Marci:

Thank you for your comments.  My son, Jarod left for bootcamp on Tues., March 6th.  I am so proud of him but miss him so much.  I really didn't know too much about this site until this week and I'm still not too sure how everything works.  I know he is doing what he really wants to do and will be happy but it is still hard having him gone.  I am also wondering what he is doing and how things are going for him now that he is there.  How old is Brett?  Jarod is 23 so this was the best thing for him to do. He really took his time making the decision but I believe he made the best decision for him even though it is hard for me not having him around.  Take care and if you want to talk I would enjoy talking with you.
