Yes he will continue to be in my Prayers, as you will be too. keep me posted ok, been thinking of you both constantly. sandboxx I hearit is a pretty good app, most of the Ladies like it. hope it works well for you.
JC'S Momma that isnt a good sign, falling into a depression. Have you been able to speak with him. when you do Pray over the phone with him and tell him he will be home soon. he cant get better if he falls into the depression This is terrible, I'm so sorry! please let me know if I can do anything.
Good Morning JC"SMomma was thinking of you Last night said a Prayer for you and Son. was wondering if you have heard anything in regards to your Son. Have a Great Day!
I am so sorry, my heart is so saddened by this, this is completly out of his control with being sick, there is a protocol that needs to be followed for him to be released, that is wht you have been given the info from LemonElephant. But I can understand you wanting him home now. I just hope he doesnt go into a depression, tell him he will be home soon, to keep his head up, this isnt the end of things, he just needs to focus on getting better right now.
Hi have you heard any new info on your Son. How is he feeling. Were you able to speak to him. I don't know to much about this part of it. But I see LemonElephant has given you information. She is such a wonderful person and has much knowledge. Please keep me posted if you don't mind, I would like to continue keeping in touch, I know how hard all this has been for you and then to hear more upsetting news. You are in my prayers.
Hi, I read your post, I am extremely sorry for all if what is going on. I wish your son well wishes and a speedy recovery. You tell him to keep his head up, and continue to strive for what is in his heart. My prayers are with you.

Be sure to have your recruit sign paperwork with legal so that they will be able to discuss the situation with you if your recruit wants that to happen. He will also have to sign the HIPAA form for you to speak with anyone about the medical condition.
FAQ about SEPSindicates that phone calls are authorized daily, but the recruits may not have access to phones every day to make calls. Those in SEPS are usually able to go to the NEX at least twice a week--females on Monday/Wednesday and males on Tuesday/Thursday--and sometimes on Saturday and the recruits are able to access the phone banks on those days and make calls if they have a phone card.
Hi, just wanted to check in with you to make sure you are ok. If you ever need to talk please let me know. Have a good weekend and rest your mind. If you haven't heard anything that is a good sign, he's busting his butt to get thru this and make it, you see how alot of these mothers are getting calls that their loved one didn't pass or sick and injured. You haven't received that call so that means he is doing good. Pray for strength for yourself and son. He will make it. Have a good evening, and get some rest.
You are welcome, I know what you are going through, I went thru the same thing I just posted it on BCM, I just want you to know that I am here if you need to talk, Everyone's Emotion are different and know you are not the only one who feels like this, even though sometimes it feels that way. I will check in on you to see how things are going ok.
JC'SMom I am so sorry that you are feeling this way, I wish I had the words to say to you that would make you feel better, I know how you are feeling, I was so lost without my son. Is Your Recruit ok, is it that you are just missing him/her? No word No form letter yet? You should be receiving the form letter in a few days maybe next week. But the 3-4 weeks for first letter and call can be a bit much. Think positive and keep busy, try not to let this get you down so much, you will make yourself sick and that wont be no good for no one including yourself. Beleive me I know I did the same, I felt like I was Mourning my son and I had to snap out of it. if you need to talk I am here for you. I just dont want to see you like this. It gets better you have to beleive that, once you can start sending your letters it will make the time fly bye.
