Son Departed for PI Oct 24th 2011
My son has been in the delayed entry program for 5 months. I was so ready for him to go, all he was doing was surfing and late nights. He was bored and ready to go as I was ready for him to go as well. Now I miss him so much.

My son turned 17 on April 12th and what he wanted to do was call the recruiter to get things moving. He was so determined that this is what he wanted. Now that day seems long ago. All the paper work and all seemed to never end.

My 18 yr old son just arrived at the aiport in San Diego. They are still waiting for the rest of the new recruits to arrive before they all head over to the base. He was so nervous as was I last night that I don't think he got more than two hours sleep.

My husband left Sept 7. He called me that night from the hotel. He said he would be leaving for MEPS the next day and then off to San Diego. I've been waiting for his call but haven’t received it yet. Hopefully I receive a letter soon.

Reading all the comments from previous families really helps. Having an idea of what he is doing everyday is helpful to pass the time.
