That's completely natural. You can't make it go away and neither should you try to.

Please thank your son for me!
Both of my sons and my daughter went into the military so I fully understand the range of emotions you are going through. I was a squid and went to boot in Orlando which I gather is shut down now. What career did he choose?

I totally understand. My daughter just turned 18. She leaves for boot camp on August 11. She decided that she wants to be a Marine. Boot camp is 13 weeks for the Marine Corp.

Hopefully he will enjoy it as much as My Son seems too. Maybe he will meet a gal like mine did and end up married with kids.Will think good thoughts for you. Pretty soon you will be getting calls all hours saying Mom you should see what I saw today lol. Least in the Military they can usually access a computer to chat.
