My boy is a Marine. It scared the daylights out of me when he told me. But there is lots of support out there for Marine families. Get yourself hooked up with MarineParents.com. It's a great support network.

Tell your son to work hard on his PT during his delayed entry program and he will be really glad he did.

Thanks - I found the website and signed up :D

He has talked about going in the military for a while now - he's a senior and graduate's in June. The recruiter yesterday said they are setting up new recruits to go to bootcamp in October, so :fl I'll have at least that long (maybe longer) to get used to the idea.

I think Onyx is gonna go before Angel does - she's really loose in the back end :celebrate I'm guessing at least another couple weeks - any opinions from someone with more experience?

Maybe I should move the girls to an actual kidding thread instead of a journal . . . can you move posts to a new thread?

Good for you. You will get used to it. There is a lot to learn before he goes in. Welcome to the Marine Family. And then there is the "dreaded" boot camp. LOL. (It's not so bad as it sounds.) Start saving up the beef jerky and nutrition bars. It's the only thing you are allowed to send him while he is in boot camp. Besides lots of letters of encouragement.

Onyx had her baby this afternoon. Middle DS texted me that she had "stuff" coming out of her but :lol: I called him and had him go midwife for me because I was driving home - he did a good job. Some sadness came along at the same time :( My oldest DS found Madusa (our American Bulldog) at the end of the driveway . . she had been hit and killed :hit :hit :hit I am heartbroken about this. We think it was a school bus that missed it's stop and decided to drop the kid in front of our house and let him walk :duc

OK before I start to cry again . . .

pics of Onyx and baby - I believe I saw danglies :

Holy &$^ - Angel needs a support bra! I assume she is not a first timer.
She is a first timer. Her udder is bigger than Onyx's!
