You Know your a Army Mom when...

*You keep you phone at arms reach so you can pick it up right away when your son or daughter calls home.

*Not having any contact with your Soldier even for a few days is enough to drive you crazy.

*You know you have raised one of America's best.

*You are always waiting for a phone call or e-mail and when you do you're over the moon.

*Hearing your child's voice can make your week.

*You spend each day with a pit in your're stomach but try to stay tough.

*Sometimes you find yourself crying in the oddest of places in a supermarket aisle, a church pew, or just walking down the street.

*You didn't ask for this job but you accepted it anyway.

*Your heart is bursting with pride, but at the same time frozen with fear.

*You get a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes when ever you hear the National Anthem and other patriotic songs.

*You know what BCT, AIT, BDU, PMCS, and other Army acronyms stand for.

*You belong to an Army mom support group or Army online forum, or Facebook group.

*Your last good nights sleep was before your son or daughter left for boot camp.

*You tear up whenever you see someone in uniform.

*Your son or daughter is your hero.
