My son is in A School right now and I am loving it that he can call me all of the time. The question that keeps nagging at me is why he wants to volunteer for deployments. I know that it is why he joined but it scares the life out of me. He called last night and said mom I am getting a medal for making expert on shooting the 9mm. Before I could tell him how proud I was he finished the sentence with "and just wanted you to know that if I can I am going t o volunteer for Byrain"(not sure how to… Continue

Hey Everyone!



I know that it has been a while since I have written. I went to graduation and had a great weekend Coty. My mom and sisters went with me and we all had the best time. I have never had so much pride in my heart when I saw my son standing in formation. I was told that there was no way that I could pick him out of all of those recruits. I picked him out just as soon as he came in. I had my eye on him the whole time. I didn't even care about the secretary of defense walking… Continue

I am keeping my… Continue

I was so excited today. I was sitting at work and my phone started vibrating. I reached into my lab coat and answered without looking at the number. A familiar voice said hello mom i love you.

I told to keep his head up and I knew that he could do it. He is doing great guys.He just wants more letters and hes going to… Continue

My son left for bootcamp on May 20th. I took him to the recruiting office and he went to MEPS from there. I didn't get a whole lot of time with him. I didn't even get to see him swear in. I think that it might have been for the best. I probably would have broke down. His first letter came in on June 12th. Man it felt like forever for me to hear from him. The letter was so sad. He had told me that he cried when he got my letter. I cried all weekend. It is heartbreaking for a mom to hear that her… Continue
