Son shipped today

[Ed Guyer]

My son just left this morning to head to meps tomorrow. Was one of the most difficult things I've had to do, saying goodbye to him. I now understand how my parents felt when I left to boot camp over 20 years ago.

I will keep everyone updated of his status while in boot camp and after. Anyone else's child ship this week? If we can keep each other posted on updates we get from out recruits it would be great and helpful for us all.

Thanks Ed

Ed, 

We take our son tomorrow for MEPS on Wednesday.  This isn't like when he went to college because we could text him or call him when we wanted to.  It's more like he's headed into a tunnel and we will see him on the other side.  

I have given him firm instructions that if he gets a phone call to call his mother.  She is a wreck and he hasn't even left yet.

I am very proud of him and looking forward to watching his Navy journey.
