Just saying Hi

[joeysmom87]

Just wanted to drop a note and say hello. My son is in boot camp in Ft Benning, and I'm just looking to make some new friends and learn more about the Army.

Welcome to the Army, Mary. Congratulation on your son joining. I know you're proud of him, and you certainly should be. Help him out a bit now, by sending him a letter here, a card there, and a package of homemade cookies occasionally, as long as his Drill SGT says it's OK. There may be rules against receiving edibles from home. Just keep letting him know you're proud of him, and that his entire family supports him. No matter how grown up he acted when he left, he still has some growing up to do. He'll be able to "tough it out" a lot better with your support. Best wishes...
