My son is in unit 201 on ship 13. I got a call from him this past Saturday (4/25). He didn't sound very good at all at first. He was very upset, basically crying saying he didn't think he was gonna make it. He was worrying about passing the book work, saying they told his unit they might push the graduation back a couple of weeks. He said the guys won't stop talking so they are getting in trouble. I gave him my best pep talk that they where just trying to break them down because that's what they are supposed to do & to stop worrying about everything. Just take one day at a time. I think I did my job because by the end of the conversation he was laughing when I told him about something one of our cats did. I gotta tell ya I go on here and some of the comments seem like the guys are in summer camp having a great time. Is anyone else's recruit have a hard time?

So sorry to hear this. Hope he can pull through with the support of you and family and his fellow SR's. My husband's doing ok. I can tell he misses us a lot. I know I could never do what he's doing so I tell him how proud I am of him and try to tell him anything to keep his chin up. I'll pray that your son will find his inner strength to make it though.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I too believe it's just to break them down. My SR is very homesick and mentioned that several times in his letters. He's staying strong, but to be honest there are probably tough times each of our SR's all go through. I pray daily for our Division that they'll remain strong regardless of their obstacles and will unite as one team. I too will say special prayers for your son too. Take care, we are all here to help each other!!
