Thank you so much for accepting me into the group. I just read the Community Guidelines and I think they are the best I have ever read! I am extremely impressed with how comprehensive, easy to understand and fair they are. I work in the field of investigations and understand completely the issue of confidentiality and appropriate disclosure. I look forward to benefiting from this group and also someday.... being able to give back when I am no longer a new-by.
I think I just figured out how to post. On the Boot Camp site I couldn't figure out how to make comments. On here I saw the little comment sign on bottom even though it isn't highlighted, I can hardly see the comment sign. Why don't see this on the other sites.
I have not received the form letter from my son but I have received letters from him. He invited us and his aunt and uncle to his graduation but I am concerned that I will not have the items that I need to attend the graduation. He graduates on Jan 17th. Will I have time to get the form letter? Concerned MOM :(
Thank you for the welcome! I need the support! I am new and my son will be leaving March 11 for boot camp. I am nervous and have a hard time reading a page without shedding tears of excitement. Any other links suggested are most welcome.
I have been having problems changing my profile picture. I keep getting an error box and asking to try another picture, but all the pictures I've used in the pass aren't working and suggestion, Please...

Thank you very much. Two years ago my nephew went through Army Basic so I was on a similar site and met a lot of new friends. This young lady is such an inspiration to me.
