Yasmin Motamedi, left, reacts to seeing her son Daniel for the first time since he shipped off to boot camp in San Diego over three months earlier. During boot camp Mrs. Motamedi received only mailed letters and one phone call. Recruits first see their families and friends the day before boot camp graduation when they are granted five hours of leave.
