Been there. Watched one son take off to the Air Force & another to the Army. It is tough, but it also makes you proud of them. He will be all right Dad, trust me.

Get some! I'm not a parent but I am a Marine. Gotta be tough I can imagine. My dad refused to see me off to boot camp.

You did good in raising him be proud.

He will be fine. That brings back memories when I left for basic training way back in 1969. The first day or two seem to be the hardest, after that one starts to adjust.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.
