My son left on 3-19. He is in the Chicago bulls 174 division. I hope we get his box and letter soon. A call would be even better! ☺

We attended his swearing in ceremony at the Chicago bulls training center. They addressed the group as division 174. His was an all male division made up of recruits from Illinois, Indiana, michigan, and Wisconsin.

The best thing to do is to find ways to keep yourself distracted. I'm still taking classes at college and working full time. On my free time I work out more than usual, I clean, and I craft (I even went ahead and made a poster for his graduation). Also, write to him! Write to him everyday (I write twice a day). It helps so much just getting it all out to him, telling him everything about your day. Yes, its hard having a one way conversation, but he will appreciate it. My boyfriend left March 11th, and he called this past Saturday, it was great. So, one other thing I would say, keep your phone charged and with you at all times.
You got this girl! Feel free to add or message me and we can chat
