chimaysmommy Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 He swore in this morning and will be leaving for Cape May, NJ today...it's official! Our hometown will now be only a vacation spot for him for the next 6 years. My mom, my brother, his girlfriend and I went out for a final celebratory dinner last night and I think we held it together very well. As soon as the door shut behind him we started crying. He'll be in basic training until October then coming home for a few days after graduation before being shipped out again. I am SO SO SO very proud of him, please send positive thoughts his way so he kicks serious A$$ in boot camp!!! :laugh: I'm going to miss him terribly!

judygram Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I know how you must feel, so proud but also apprehensive but I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers that he remains safe and comes back soon to his family waiting for his return.

Eckobird Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Aw I bet you will miss him very much! I'm sending some positive thoughts your way! One of my really good friends is doing the same thing! She said she has to do boot camp in NJ too, so she might be going to the same place. She took the test last week so I don't know when she will be going but I know its soon. I wish you the best for you and your family Cindy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Good thoughts and lots of love go out to your brother. God please keep him safe and return him home safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Best wishes and love from over here too. You have every right to be proud of him - and all other families and loved ones of anyone in any of the allied forces. I am a strong supporter of the forces, having friends and family (husband's cousin married a chap in the US airforce and has just moved over to the US) and also my own friends in the UK Forces.

kittykittykitty Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thoughts and prayers to all of you. The years are long and many but how I remember as a teen when my uncle joined the Marines during WW II- the pride and the concern! Yes, he came home safely.
