He has been gone only a day and I already miss him a ton! Get to watch him swear in in the morning and visit with him for a little before he boards the bus. He has been staying with my Fiancé and I for the last 2 months cause him and his Mom weren't getting along. I really loved having him here. Got to spend a lot of quality time with him. It's gonna be tough to see him go tomorrow. But I know it's what he wants. He wants to follow in my Dad's footsteps(who passed away 6 years ago). I am so proud of him. We had a going away party for him Saturday and there were a lot of tears shed at the end of the night. he and his twin brother had a great moment crying in each others arms for 10 minutes. They have never been apart in their 22 years. I have so many different emotions going on right now. I feel sad...but excited. Cant wait till December to see him graduate! Sorry about the long rant......just have to vent a little. Gonna be tough going to sleep the next few nights.

Your son will be fine if he listens and follows instructions. My only advise I have given our daughter is surround herself with good smart shipmates with good moral standards. That she is always learning and staying out of trouble................
