You did something right didn't you:-)
Sounds like you did A LOT right:-)
Good for you and your son!
Best wishes for him.
I wish I could give you support about the mom/son (different than dropping him off at college subject) but I'm not a mom......yet sorry:(
but I still wish you well.
> My 18 year old son left for Basic Training today. He'll spend 9 weeks in Georgia doing that, and then move to a different base in Georgia for his 20 week AIT (Advanced Individual Training). He's going into Satellite Communications. He's really excited about this, and has been since the first of the year. I think it is a good choice for him.

> He has agreed not to volunteer for Combat duty. I'm really hoping that they will think that he is more valuable with a computer in his hands than with a gun.

> I am proud of him. He is a very nice person, and will make a contribution to the world.
