New to AF my son will leave for BMT on 11/13/12
My son and I have faced a lot of changes in the past year, one of them being his decision to join the AF. I read another blog here on the site that verified that the feelings I have are customary for moms.....it was a relief to know that the crying for any reason, going through the feelings of nostalgia are not of my own creation!
I recently moved to Virginia and my son came for a visit (he lives in San Antonio) and when I went to drop him off at the airport this morning, I felt like my whole world was caving in, I did not let him see it, but I think he guessed, just by the way he was looking at me. I want to do everything I can to encourage him, he's so excited and seems so happy with his decision ! He makes me so proud!

Our son left Oct 8 and we got our first phone call from him Oct 14 a Sunday. He got to talk to us for 15 minutes and of coarse I had it on speaker. He was crying. Well it broke my heart. I had to tell him he was doing good job and he passed his physical test. YEAH! We only have 2 kids and My husband is a cop so sleeps all day and works all night. Very lonely here. I stand and can hear clocks ticking and time passing. When he went in he asked for an E2 which is stripes going in and the lady gave him E3. This will be a pay raise when he gets outa boot camp. A lot of kids don't know this. Write many letters that is all they have to the outside world. I printed all his support from my face book to let him know people are proud and praying for him. I wrote one letter that said, "Focus and you went in for Money, Guns and travel". Us moms have to help them get through this. Good luck.
