Comment by MattsMomShelley on May 10, 2012 at 7:55pm It is very frustrating ... I am writing him again tonite, explaining why he hasnt gotten a letter from Mom, hoping this one will get thru ... but I am goin to call his Recruiter tomorrow to be on the safe side.
Comment by Shellebelle (Michelle) on May 10, 2012 at 3:44pm Shelley5716 I would call your son's recruiter and see what the problem is. How frustrating is that? I'm so sorry.
Comment by MattsMomShelley on May 10, 2012 at 3:06pm okkkkk, so a letter I sent my son came back today ... said "undeliverable" ... what the heck??? I ck'd, and then re-ck'd, everything was right on the address ... I dont get it!
Comment by Victoria Nicole on May 6, 2012 at 10:12am Paula, you are definitely not alone. we all understand and are going through the same. keep your head up:)
Comment by Mrssyl91 on May 2, 2012 at 9:35pm Yes I was blessed with this page it truly is a blessing and a life saver to have people to communicate with. I too am counting the days down it is 23 days until my son's graduation May 25,2012.
Comment by bponchay on May 1, 2012 at 8:23pm Hey Paula you are not alone. I have made some great friends on here. I could not have made it without this site. We have 23 more days until graduation!!!
Comment by JKMOM on May 1, 2012 at 8:13pm Paula, it certainly does help, I would be a wreck if I hadn't found this sight. Take care
Comment by Paula on May 1, 2012 at 7:56pm thank you all for these comments and for telling me how to add friends, I have been really down before I decided to just start commenting on here. It makes a huge difference knowing you are not alone while your loved one is in boot camp
Comment by 1~Mom-NY (Maria) on May 1, 2012 at 10:35am No you cannot and should not send them money. They are being paid and they have a debit card. As for their uniforms they pay for them out of a uniform allowance that they receive. Do not worry they are good to go.

Comment by darkarchermom on May 1, 2012 at 9:52am My heart goes out to all the parents who now have a recruit! At my sons graduation a little over a week ago I felt like I should have been wearing a t-shirt that stated "This mom survived Marine boot camp!" Use this forum - it is a life line!
FYI - I am refining a parents MCRD San Diego graduation guide that I put together with lots of comments made on the forum throughout the last year or so. As soon as it is ready I'll add a post.
