- Dear Darla,
How are you doing? This Navy for moms is such a blessing. I'm sorry I didn't write to you earlier. I didn't realize you wrote me under friend. I'm sorry.
WHen does your son leave for Boot Camp?
I'm guessing on Nov 18, from the discussion you wrote.
I'll let you know what to expect. For starters, your son will be fine.
Usualy within 48 hours after he leaves for Boot Camp, he'll call you.
Now you need patience.
The following week you'll recieve the box with his belongings. Warning, this box will leave an empty feeling.
The second week will be the Form letter. Don't misplace this. It's now combined with graduation information. It should also have his address along with his Division and Ship numbers. On the back will have a couple of sentences from him. You'll have some releif seeing his handwritting.
Around the third week, your first long letter. Another warning, sometimes the first letter is sad. Don't panic if it is. The letters will get more uplifting.
You may even get a phone call the following weekend.
Once the recruits get into the rountine of Boot Camp and over being homesick, they all like Boot Camp, beleive it or not.
It's the moms having the nervous breakdowns!! HAHA!
Boot Camp isn't has horible as us moms picture it.
Please stay in contact with other Navy moms. I'm always around. Together we'll help you through Boot Camp....we haven't lost a mom yet! HAHA!
Please don't hesitate to write.
Take care and God bless,
Barbara
