My son jeremy is in the same division. He said some of his friend's mo's have signed up on here. It was great getting letters from him and the phone call was the icing on the cake. I am so glad he is doing well. Today is his 18th birthday and it is really hard to be away from him today... But I wouldn't change it because he is doing what he wants. Thanks for listening! Can't wait for PIR!!

Hi JoniB. I was just going through all the discussion for 09-331 and sending friend requests to moms in my son's division AND I noticed you are from Bolingbrook! We live in Shorewood!
What is your son's name?

Hi,
His name is Jeff. Will you be going to the meet and greet the night before? What is your son's name? Jeff has a group he hangs with - but I only know some last names. :)

Hi Joni,
His name is Zach. I am writing him a letter now about all the moms I've met hoping he knows your sons and is comforted that we are chatting. They may roll their eyes knowing we are such mommies but after 8 weeks away from us, I'm sure it fills their hearts.
I'm thinking about going to the meet and greet but want to get the house ready for his "welcome home" party. He has already sent a letter with food requests: home cooked meals. Though we will have only a few hours, and he misses his dogs as much as his mother, I intend to mommy him til he can't take it anymore!

I missed my daughter's call. It was our family reunion and I was out of cell phone range. She did call her boyfriend. She sounded very positive. I was very depressed by missing it. I hope I get another chance. I have just booked my flight and motel reservations. We are staying at the SpringHill Marriott. It is new. Sarge's taxi service is going to pick us up from O'Hare around 6:30 a.m. so if anyone would like to share a ride, please let me know. Also her boyfriend is going to be coming in later that day on 10/6 but around 2:22 p.m. and he is willing to share a ride with other parents if they want to use Sarge's taxi service. The cost is around $48.00 to $51.00 one-way. Also Sarge want to let everyone know a surprise is in store for us parents and he will announce it on the site. He asked me not to say anything until he announces. He said it will be really fun for the parents.

My daughter is in DIV 332. She also celebrated her birthday at boot camp. We have a traditional birthday song that we sing at all of our family birthdays so I took pictures of each family member holding a paper with different parts of the song with their mouths open as if they were really singing it! I arranged them on a collage and sent it to her. She loved it! I was pretty sad that day because it's our first time to be without her on her birthday. I am very happy for the ones that were able to speak to their SR's on their birthdays. One time after a phone call they asked her why she was smiling so much. They thought she had spoken to a boyfriend or a guy she liked. She said, "Cuz I talked to my mama!"

My son will be celebrating his 18th Birthday tomorrow, and is his first birthday that he is away from his family. I am very sad that we will not be together.
He has been away at boot camp for 5 weeks now, and I miss him terribly! Have only heard from him 3 times (2 letters and 1 phone call) and he is doing great. He likes it and is having fun, so that makes me feel a whole lot better!
Counting down the days until graduation!!!!!
Have a great day everyone!

My son will turn 19 on Oct 2. His PIR Graduation will be on my Daughter's 29th b-day.
Happy Birthday to your Son. I know what you are going through. This will also be my son's first b-day away from us as well. It won't be long now. I bet our sons/daughters can hardly wait til BC is over, too!! -
