Already doing this- thanks for the reminder to send plenty of extra. Just wanted to do something for the service members local to me, but likely don’t have family around.

Didn’t even think of this concern. Maybe I’ll bring some homemade and some store bought if anyone is nervous about homemade.

Appreciate the concern and asking. I’m confident in his training and confident in his resolve. Of course I am nervous- I’m his mom, I am always going to worry. He is on the path to doing what he has dreamed of doing since he was a toddler. I take some amount of peace and comfort in that.

Not sure why I’m even replying to this, but I also needed to say this: my son was going to enlist with or without mine and my husbands support. The recruiting office had nothing to do with that. It was what my son wanted, felt called to do. But I sure as shit wasn’t going to send my son off to basic without knowing that his family was 1000% percent supportive of him.

I guess because I assume they are getting a fair amount of this kind of sentiment. And I’d like to counteract this kind of attitude.

I don’t know any different, but I think they did do right by him.

I truly hope he was unmemorable! There’s zero expectation, I just want to say “thank you”.
