My son should have arrived at Paris Island Marine Corp Base about now. We are supposed to receive a call from him between 11:00 & 2:00 tonight. He is only allowed to read a scripted message telling us he arrived safely and everything is fine. I, for one, know full well that in the first few hours of Basic Training, everything is NOT fine. After this call he will not be able to communicate with us except by letters, which he cannot write except on Sundays. He can only read mail from home on Sundays as well, after Chapel. As an Air Force Vet, I must now begin a long 13 week journey of becoming a Marine mom!! But I WILL embrace it proudly! Please keep Peter Jr. in your prayers as he becomes transformed into a Marine Warrior. I miss him so much already......my heart has been pounding every hour all day. My son has become a man and has flown the nest! : (. : )
