re: Just talked to my son for the last time before he starts basic

He will be fine buddy. I went to Parris Island a good while ago and the worst thing he will face is being perpetually hungry. Your son is used to being able to eat whenever he wants and now he has to adjust to eating when he’s allowed. Other than that, he’ll be A-OK. Plus, he will make buddies from all walks of life from all over the country.
