Daughter Leaves from Jacksonville, FL 9/17 - Anyone Else?
My 19 year old daughter is leaving out on 9/17 and I was just wondering if anyone else out there has a loved one leaving the same date? I come from a military family, dad's retired Air Force and I spent a few years in the Air Force, so I have a bit of an idea of what she'll be going through. I actually had a good time at Basic and technical school, so I hope she will also. I'm sure I'll be a little anxious when she leaves, but mostly I'm just hoping she goes in, embraces the experience and does well. We went through a rough patch (putting it mildly) from the ages of 15-17, so I was completely thrilled when she told me earlier this year she intended to enlist in the military. I think it will give her some direction, and a new level of maturity.

Hello Cab1213, My daughter shipped out to BC on the 18th, I also got my call around 10:45 that night. She's turns 19 on Friday and thats difficult because we've basically shared our birthday being one day apart for the last 18 years!
.. No address/Form letter yet, so I can't even wish her a happy birthday! I am waiting for the box, her last text said, "PS Jacket Pocket.
I was fortunate to spend the evening before and the morning at MEPS with her in Des Moines, Iowa- Just a couple hours from home. I will hold on to those hugs until I get to hold her again!

I still haven't gotten my letter, so I sent her recruiter a quick text to see if he can give it to me by any chance. All her friends and family are anxious to start being able to write her! She sent her trifold wallet I bought her before she left back in her box, not sure why she didn't/couldn't keep it.

Maybe she and my daughter will end up in the same squad/unit. Have you received the letter with her mailing address yet?
