Our friends hosted a going away party before my husband left because he wouldn't be back before we PCSed. We kind of just considered it a going away party for both of us and didn't have another get together when I left a couple months later.

I would probably do something like this. One party as a combined good luck/goodbye party. Then for you and your son I would have a very close dinner party or something with only close family and best friend before you left.

Maybe just something small with close friends and family when he goes to basic, and let your mom throw something a little larger when the two of you PCS.
