CBNJCM and Momma98,
Laundry POs
This only confirms that this site us doing its job. We all are a family even if its just for 9weeks. I am glad my son is making friends. I think bit is great we are able to share stories and information. I am sure my son knows you're then CBNCJN.
Momma98,
I can't imagine a young man all alone like that. I hope he finds some friends that he can confide in and feel a sense of belonging. My son had boot problems in the beginning. He got them changed and was better. Hopefully his parents come around and are there for their son. Not sure on the history of this young man but the Navy will give him the belonging, discipline and direction he just may need. My husband says they are very united so I am sure he will have some support. My son is in his division. You can send me a message whenever you want. -

Tbird96 I like this site for the same reasons. Funny how we never stop worrying about our kids.....are they making friends and all those other concerns we had when they were little. It never goes away, I guess.

I think the worrying will never go away. It is a confusing feeling as they become adults. I know the Navy is setting guidelines for them which makes me feel better but being away makes me worry. So yes it will never go away.

Hello,
I got a letter today.My SR passed his tested so fare that have been given. There's a few more he says that are coming up.He also says that there is arguments with each other because everyone wants to be out of their. I know it's not easy being placed with a lot of strangers with a lot of different personalities and upbringing. I know for myself just at work and being involved in girl scouts.My Sr also wrote that he working on fairer safety and damage control.
He also asked what we are doing when he graduates because he doesn't know what their is to do where he is.He wants to have a plan so we don't waste time. I already got that covered. Little does he know I already have a few restaurants in mind and going to call a week before and make a reservation .
My husband wants to upgrade his phone and get that wireless adapter for him when he goes to a school. Does anyone know if they can use the wireless internet adapter? We are thinking for him to Skype and email us.
Two more Friday's to go !! Have a great holiday weekend.
