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.

Shelley5716 I would call your son's recruiter and see what the problem is.  How frustrating is that?  I'm so sorry.

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.

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.

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.
