Hi Todd,

My son arrived at RTC the evening of 2/4/14. Wife, daughter and I are going through a whole range of emotions. Missing him greatly but we're very excited and proud of him. 

Best wishes for our sons!

Hi, our son also also arrived at Great Lakes on the 5th. He was actually suppose to arrive there on the 4th, but weather in Chicago delayed him. Thank you for your sons and daughters service. My family will keep your families in our thoughts and prayers. We are missing him very much also. Can't wait until PIR.

Looks like we a lot of our children reported on the 4th mine did also. I just I knew what he was going through right now I was in the Army so I'm sort of lost

Thank you Paul! I'm sure everyone else has constantly wondered what their son or daughter must have been going through a few days after shipping out. Can't thank you enough for the link to the videos. I'll be sharing them with my wife tomorrow.

Yes, thank you Paul...My wife and I watched some vids on youtube on Friday night with our kids to show them what our son is going through.  Looks a lot different than Army basic/infantry training 28 years ago, but I am excited for my Son to serve his country.

Our son left, 1/28 it was extremely difficult since we are very close, got our second called Saturday. you can call his recruiter and get his address and start writing to him, it will lift his spirits getting those letters.
