Is there a word that means more proud than proud? I've used proud so many times in the past week to describe both my son and I, it seems like there should be a more meaningful word! The son I brought home with me from PI is so confident and proud of himself I think he could do anything. He is so happy to be representing the Marine Corps each day. I'm still bursting with pride as well. Our ten days has been fantastic. He's spent most of the time with his friends, as it should be. I've made a reservation with him for tomorrow, so we will spend some time together as leave winds down. I don't mind sending him off this time as much...he's got this and so do I.....

nurse4life,

 

If your son is going to be at Camp Pendleton for SOI, then you should look at joining one of the west coast groups.  Take a look at this link: www.WhatsAfterBoot.com  and you can always stay connected with the Kilo Co. friends & family group too: http://marinefamilynetwork.com/group/kilo-co-family-friends-mcrd-pa...

Hey guys, sorry it's been a bit but with all the family get togethers, party's dinners & so on plus working, getting on the computer has been the last thing on my mind. I was glad to be able to meet my adopted son & new Marine BW and we plan on keeping in touch. Him and my son left by saying brothers for life, it's amazing the bond these young men have formed and will carry with them for the rest of their lives. I too have cried more this week that I thought, first with the pride I have for my son & then realizing 10 days is short. Thanks for all the support you guys have given during the beginning of this journey we are all now on. Hope to stay in touch in other groups here on MFN. Semper Fi

Nurse4life, why San Diago? What is he doing there? Is it MCT or SOI at Camp Penelton? That would be different but possible I suppose.

My Marine leaves for San Diego on Monday...hopefully there's a support forum here for those of us soon-to-be Long Distance parents...we live in NC so this is going to be even harder for me than BC.....
