Luis,
You ask what it was like to let go of my son. Their are no words to describe how I felt that day. i am still an emotional wreck and am learning to deal with it everyday. I miss him so bad that it hurts at times. But I think of all the great things that he will be able to do with his life and it makes it all better. Keep in touch and let me know when your son leaves. All the best..
Luis- you are on the final countdown....for as long as you've been on NavyDads you should know the routine, but it will still a difficult adjustment for you for awhile! I pray you will be ablt to attend PIR as seeing your son march into the hall in uniform and repeat the sailor's creed will make it all worthwhile. Prayers and blessings friend! Paul

Luis,
Thank you for offering your friendship. My son Chris is 136-11 Kersage
Arrived Great Lakes on January 29th.
keep in touch and tell your son we wish him all the best.
Luis- I know you are getting anxious and exicted to see your son off to Great Lakes--- it will a difficult transition to seeing the house without him at home! Spend some quality time wiht him over these next few days as the boy you see leave will soon be a sailor! Blessings and prayers my friend! Paul

THnaks for inviting me. sounds like we are cut from the same cloth ( I probably got the bigger piece More to cover) My son shipped on January 6 and graduates on February 27th. Doesn't add up I know but that is what they say. Tell your son to keep working hard do his best and learn from his inevitable mistakes. My son is in division 108 and I can't wait to go watch him graduate.

Luis I'm glad he's finally getting to ship out. Boot Camp is 9 weeks total. The first week he will get processed in and 8 weeks of boot. Tell him I said good luck. It's going to be COLD up there.
I'm sitting here with my older two sons, enjoying their company tonight, missing Craig, but knowing that he is fine. May you enjoy a wonderful Christmas day with your loved ones. God bless you and grant you a wonderful new year. My blue candle is lit for all who are serving. God bless them.
Hey Luis,We pray you and your family continue to be Blessed and have a very Merry Christmas. Our sailor is home onleave so we already have the best gift a parent can ask for! Enjoy your Holidays and good luck Sunday!
Thank you for the invite. My son Eric is currently in BC at Great Lakes. We are about 3 hours from there and have the similar weather...hopefully he's staying warmer than we are:) It's really cold out today! He will PIR on 1/30/09. He is going to be attending HM "A" school right there at GL then wants to go to FMF. I'm 100% behind him in his decision.
Luis
Thanks for your web page. I am very impressed. What does your sailor do in the Navy? From your pictures I thought he might be an MA? My son Andrew PIR 5-Dec-08. He is going to be an MA. From your profile you sound like my twin. We live in Northwest Indaina, so I really can't get excited about the Hurricanes, especially back in the 90's when the Hurricanes and Notre Dame where playing each other. I am an hour away from Notre Dame and two hours away from Great Lakes. Great page, Dave.
Luis-- how are things with your sailor? It won't be long now unitl you too get the privilage of traveling to Great Lakes for a PIR....be sure to check out the vidoes New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2 to understand what your son will be going through....
