TM, I'm sure this morning will bring a range of emotions to you with your S leaving for basic, storm cleanup and just general roller-coaster induced nausea. I'm glad you had your daughter and friend to talk to yesterday.
I wouldn't worry about your son in basic. I went through it 22 years ago, and like I tell people, if I could do it, anyone could! It's not easy, but they don't give the recruits any more than they can handle.
Hang in there, and take plenty of dramamine for the coaster.
