Brother Left for the Navy
I can't stop thinking about him and what he's doing. It's so cold in the great lakes right now and he's lived in AZ for the last 6 years. Anyone else know anyone in the Navy that went through boot camp? Can you give me some insight as to what he might be going through. He called on Tues when he got there and just said 'he doesn't know if he's gonna make it" I'm just missing him. He's my little bro.

Re: Brother Left for the Navy
I know exactly how you're feeling. It's like an empty feeling, a void. It will get better...keep him in your paryers & write to him a lot. He will be going through a lot of training & he will be kept very busy for now.

Re: Brother Left for the Navy
Dh went to boot camp in the Great Lakes too. He said the first week is very confusing and disorienting. People screaming at you, everything moving so quickly.
After you get settled in, things are much easier. As long as you pay attention and do what you're told everything will be fine. He also said it takes a while to get phone priveledges, so don't be upset if you don't hear from him much.
Good luck to him!

Dh is in the USAF. He'll get through and be a stronger man in the long run. Dh went to Basic Training. Just write letters and DO NOT do anything girly or anything because he'll just get made fun of. Just send it to him exactly like it states. Exactly the way he said his name and title should be. Blue or Black ink no girly colored envelopes if you send a card. And if he has a GF be super nice to her right now:)

Re: Brother Left for the Navy
Thanks Everyone. It's the first time he's left home, so we're all a little heartbroken. Thanks for the advise on the envelope writing. I'll pass that along to his gfriend.

Re: Brother Left for the Navy
Claudette,
While I do not have a personal history other than my father being in the navy before I was born, I do wish I could offer some words for you.
I hope your little brother stays safe and will kepp him in my prayers

Re: Brother Left for the Navy
when I was 18 my best guy friend left for the navy...it was so hard because he would say how miserable he was. You just have to be there for him to support him and write as much as possible.
