Here’s a little video I made of my son’s bootcamp. It has a beautiful song (yes, I paid for it!) so turn up your speakers. Let me know what you think and leave a comment if you like it!

How did you get those training pictures? My son graduated Parris Island in Jan. 2006, and I certainly had no opportunity to get such photos until the graduation, of course!

I was lucky, wasn’t I? The Jewish Lay Leader took his digital camera every Friday night and sent out pictures next day! He also would call me every Friday night after services to tell me how Ari was doing! He and his wife are amazing people and do so much for the recruits at San Diego!

Is your son deploying? Mine goes very very soon!!

Your son had services Friday night at San Diego? At Parris Island, all services—Jewish, Christian, whatever—were on Sunday morning. You were very, very lucky to have that person looking after your son.

I do not yet have word on my son’s deployment. I wish you strength and guidance through that experience. Are you connected with MarineParents.com, or another Marine-related message board? You can p.m. me if you want some URLs for helpful sites.
