Navy Dads

well my son Kyle left Atlanta, Monday afternoon. We had a going away party for him on Sunday afternoon. a large number of family and friends came out to say good-by.
although Kyle said he did not want a big to-do. But he really enjoyed the party.
Late last night, Kyle called home and said " i don't have much time to talk, we made it to boot camp, you will get a box and a letter from me in about 3 weeks."
we could hear the instructor in the back ground, for them to hurry up.
It hasn't set in yet he is gone. We are still stepping over his shoes. This morning, I was getting things around to leave the house trying to be quiet, when I realized he was not here.

Mike, we feel your pain. My son left today for RTC and we are waiting on his call as I write this. Its been hard to swallow quite a few times today especially when I look at his car or go by his room. But it aint about us. They are joining a team of the finest and they will be made to be the finest. My sons rate is HM. We pray for all the military.

Mike we all have been in your shoes. The first 4 weeks are tough and it seems like an eternity but the last 4 fly bye. Start writing letters now, just number them so that Kyle will know the order to read them in. They will save his mail for the first 3 to 4 weeks until they earn the right to receive mail. Also Kyle's recruiter should know his ship and division # tomorrow. As soon as you get that, the address is in the bootcamp group. I wish your family and Kyle the best during boot camp and PIR will be here before you know it.
