Got my box today. Hope things are goinggood for you. I have started a group for PIR of 10/14 bc that should be the date they graduate. It is listed on the main page under PIR dates. Hope to see you soon and meet up at PIR.
Definately a start. Same with me. I cried when I realized I missed the call and then it dawned on me that I did not delete the message and could keep it. LOL One of those emotional brain moments.
Im glad for you. I still havent gotten a call but you are right no news is good news. Another mom told me she got a call at 4:00 am this morning. She said they forgot to let them call home. Her son took the oath with my son. Hope all is well
Doping ok Brandon has been txtng me off and on all day. His last txt was at 6 or so central time and he was on his way to RTC just waiting for the call like you to hear his voice one last time. Been a really emotional roller coaster day.
i did get my call... got it at 9:00pm cali time... just like everyone said it would be, very short then good bye.. :(... she said "hi mom here, they told me to tell you to expect my box and a letter soon, ok bye they said i gotta hang up now, love you".... so yeah everybody wasn't kidding when they said it was gonna short.....
how about you? i'm sure you got a call by now... how was it?
we said our good byes yesterday and yup it was as hard as i thought it would be... :(...
her flight actually left today at 2:00pm california time, so now it's the waiting game for her first call from boot camp.... i'm sure they wil all do great, it's so hard letting them go... but yeah i'll talking to you through the whooe process during these next 8 weeks then we'll get to meet at graduation... hang in there....
well here we the evening before my daughter leaves for MEPS.... ugh!!! Her recruiter will pick her up sometime tomorrow, aug. 15th then she's off to BC tuesday the 16th.. i've decided not to meet her at the airport because i know for a fact i'll be a hot mess and i just dont want her to leave seeing me like that.. i know she'll be going through her own emotions and i know seeing me in that state wont be good for her.. so we'll be saying our good byes tomorrow....
