We took Joey to Weatherford, Texas, yesterday evening about 5, where his recruiter and another recruit joined him. The recruiter drove the guys to Dallas, and they flew out this morning for Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California, for 13 weeks of boot camp. When I get Joey's address, I will post it here so that anyone who might like to could send him a card. He is not allowed "care packages" until after boot camp. That's the Marine way, I guess. Please say a prayer for Joey as he begins this new phase of his life.

I am proud of him, but not nearly as proud as you and his whole family. Of course I fear for our military. But I counter this fear, with so much admiration and gratitude, that there are warriors who are willing to learn to protect us.
I am very, very aware of the warrior concept and admire it so. I have {and still do} Net-know and follow many, in their blogs, over years. My admiration knows no bounds.
Yes please share his address, as soon as you get it.
Hugs to you and his whole family,
Mari-Nanci

My nephew is at West Point and Boot Camp is a very lonely time - he couldn't even have mail.
Just like Teen Challenge! The first few weeks were without word from home. Total focus time!

Glad to see you back.
I come from a military family. I love doing whatever I can to help!
I have been praying for your Joey since I read of him leaving high sckool at the same time as my daughter.
He loos so nice and young. Too young for the marines in my chicken mother opinion.
Of cours I'll keep on praying.
Thank you for praying for Serina. She is much better now nad with God's help will have a full recovery.
She's also leaving home late August for a year in a Christian boarding shool.
After that she can take up whatever study she like, probably languages or photo.
We have a different university system in Norway. No campus. The students have to care for own accomodation. That might be complicated. On the other side the students all get scholarships and a loan from government, so anyone who wants can study in any Norwegian, even foreign universities no matter rheir parents income. That's a good thing, I think.
Well, I'll not forget young Joey, may the Lord let his shielding atms around him.
