My birthday I should be happy.
Yesterday, was my 27th birthday and I didn't even want to get out of bed. My husband left for bootcamp on Sept, 2nd and its only week two. The first week was really hard after the last phone call "Hey I will call you in three weeks "love you bye CLICK .Then my 3 year old daughter wanted to say I love you daddy . However, there wasn't enough time made me break down. Its crazy because I never thought I would be this emotional. Ive been apart from my husband before for work , but the fact that I have no communication gives me Anxiety. I have so many questions and Im just a worrier thats what I do. However, Just realizing the small things we take advantage of makes me appreciate life more. I received his box the other day and even though its just his phone and clothes it was still nice to get something. I just have to remind myself that he is there to better himself, he isn't in trouble he isn't dead, or sick. He's doing something that he's finally took the courage to do. Next week is week 3 . Does anybody know what day they called on? Also if you guys received any letters by the end of week 2? Any advice welcomed. TIA.

There is no way to know the exact day or time that your husband's RDCs have scheduled the phone calls for his division. Keep the phone charged and within arm's reach.

It will get better. When my son left in August I thought I would never get through it and now in 3 weeks we will be there for PIR. I am so proud of him.Once the letters start arriving it gets easier, then before you know it you will receive some phone calls. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I believe that was around the time of the first call. I have had two more calls after that and he is doing well. Stay strong.
