Hi all. My son Matt is Ship 14 Div 300 also. I'm currently on vacation out of state and it is killing me wondering if mail is waiting for me when I return. I did receive the box and form letter before leaving (whew) so have been able to send lots of letters. Just hoping he hasn't called yet since I have no cell service up in the mountains where I am.
Looking forward to getting to know you other Moms.

Hi!
My son is also on Ship 14 Div 300. I am going crazy thinking about him, how he is doing etc. So reading all the posts makes me feel like I am not crazy or we are ALL crazy LOL.
I am a teacher from Florida so been off for the summer... Getting ready to go back to work so I think it will keep my mind off worrying and missing him.
Looking forward to hearing more from you all!!!

It is a nice "outlet" for me to log on and see the discussions and know Im not alone, going crazy wondering about my son. I know that he is fine and hes not the first to ever go thru boot camp, but i would love to hear his voice and hear from him. I dont think i have ever gone this long without hearing from him! It sound like i wont get to hear from him for a few more weeks..

Hi Bsmom - I totally agree with you, sometimes you feel like your going crazy wondering about our boys, and noone can understand it! I keep saying there should be someone there who calls the moms, just to let them know their kid is ok and hanging in there until they're able to call. I know it would be a busy job and its a far fetched idea, but it still would be nice! Have you gotten any letters yet? I havent, and I thought by now I wouldve. Maybe Im just too antsy. Do you know where your son is going for A school?
