Hi Tiffany thank you so much for accepting and welcoming me as a member of N4M.I really appreciate this site,it makes me feel less stressful.
My sailor left to bootcam on Feb.4,I am so proud of him and miss him a lot.
This site has been an amazing help. I don't like to keep asking my son questions and making his pre-boot camp time stressful. I have found so much info here already! Thanks for everyones feedback & posts.
Thank you Tiffany for the warm welcome at such an uncertain time! It's very comforting to know that I can reach out and find answers to the many questions I have. My son called late Wednesday night to say he arrived safely. He sounded good and I am feeling better.
