Who’s been there?

We got our first letter from our son today. First words of the letter is that he’s doing ok! :)
Glad to hear it. And I hope you're feeling better about his basic training as well.
 
Good stuff.

Well I stopped posting, didn’t I? :D My wife found a couple of Facebook groups that are for people in my situation. Now those members can identify with me! I don’t know if they can make beer though. Hold on, I’ll check!!

I got to how I wanted to be feeling about a week after he left.

What’s funny about the Facebook groups is it seems that many of the parents can’t wait for boot camp to be over so they can get back to life as usual. Um, those kids have a job to do now. They’re not going home!! They are all grown up now!!
 
If the Marines are worth a shit they will take him fishing for Reds in the shallow salt water. Just kidding - thank him for serving and thanks to all of you who served. Defense is crucial. We just have to pray that defense and offense don't get flipped.
