Comment by 1~bustersbabysitter (Pam) on January 23, 2013 at 7:07am Happy Anniversary MFN! 10 Fabulous years, and counting…
Comment by librarian on October 9, 2012 at 2:24pm Welcome GotHis6! How are you doing? I know that this can be a hard day.
Comment by GotHis6 on October 9, 2012 at 2:22pm My son shipped today from STL to MCRD San Diego.
Comment by librarian on January 12, 2012 at 5:05pm I have not been communicating on this message board since my son left on Nov. 14 because I have been on the Feb. 10, 2012 - Hotel Co. message board with other families around the country whose son left on the same day. I would like to know if there is anyone in the northern suburbs of Chicago whose son might be graduating from bot camp on Feb. 10. We are from Libertyville.

Comment by LithJandJ on September 6, 2011 at 4:38pm Hello Vici,
Recruit Mom Bravo also Lake County IL....Stamps and address labels are great for Recruits....My son always thanked me in his letters for the stamps....... Power bars....Just a heads up in case your son might request Power bars in a letter.....Wait until he asks though before you send any...Not all Platoons recive Power Bars.....
