I know how you must be feeling--my youngest left shortly after graduating hs & was still only 17...turned 18 in boot camp & in Iraq by the time he was 19.
Prayers for all & kudos to him for his service!

My husband just got back from his third tour in Iraq.. and he re-enlisted while he was over there

So I know what y'all are going through

Basic Training will be a blast for him. At least I had fun when I was there. Except for the gas chamber...

I know what you mean Kevin, I had a blast as well.........when I got through the first 2 weeks

you ever feel like you needed to teach them so much more before they left?
