Our son left for boot camp on July 16th in SD. My feelings are very polarizing. I am soooo proud and excited i can scream. But, i am constantly wondering how he is doing and what he is doing. We have only received one very brief letter so far.

Our middle son was sworn into the Delayed Enlistment a week after he turned 17 and became a Senior in high school. He just graduated high school, turned 18 and will be shipped out to boot camp very shortly. He is very excited and we couldn't be prouder.
