My son is off to Army camp today
#1
My 16 year old son is a Sargeant in the Canadian Army Cadet program and will spend the summer in marksmanship training in Ottawa. Then he wants to enlist, after school of course. I will miss him again this summer. Hope he stays safe with all those guns and ammunition around.

When you're feeling lonely for him, come here and tell us.
Alot of us are in a similar boat. My grandnephew (he's 18) is just finishing boot camp and doesn't know where he'll be sent yet.

{{{{HUGS}}}} Totally understand. Son is leaving for school next month for an ROTC Program and then into the service he goes. Scares the living h*** out of me. Atleast we know that we've raised them to be the type of individuals that are caring enough to want to protect others. That's a good thing!!! Just think of all the other stuff that could and is worse that they've could of fallen into. This is part of what is keeping me sane.

{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} I was ever so lonely after taking DD to church camp last Monday. Now I'm finally getting used to her being gone. I'll pick her up tomorrow. LOL
On a smaller scale I know what you're going through. But even though we hate to see them go we get to be proud of them for doing it.
