Tessa and puppy - Daisy Duck.  All the pets of the kids have Disney  characters names.  The puppy responded to Daisy Duck - that is her name.

HI

 Will try to get a pic of the puppy.  When she goes down for a nap - so do we all.

Did I read right - a sailor coming home ?  Hurray and Navy Mom gets first hug!

enjoy reading all the message.  I still learn something

Not much here.  I am on break for 3 weeks - well kinda.  Have three meetings for Scouts the next 3 day.  And right now I am battling a cold.  Sore throat - slight fever - running nose one minute and then all stuffed up.  Have not a clue how or from who i got it.  Wold love to give it back.

Heard from son we have had some bad weather in the southern states.  Suppose to get some weather here too. I just hope for some rain.

Need to get - I have ironing and I have to catch my nose - its running again.

I will send hugs later  Sweet dreams all

Yes a letter takes a first class stamp, but gets sent the same as a package.

I got a few emails today!

Hapypy Armed Forces day to all our brave children

I was wondering about the mail thing too. My son just got to Japan a few weeks ago and I thought I'd have to mail a letter from the PO. When I went there, they said I can just put a regular stamp on it and send it off. It's been 16 days and he still hasn't gotten it. We were waiting to give out his address until he got this one. The PO said it would take a week.

Jansu831 and blm....this most definitly helps. Thank you for your support and answers..have a wonderful weekend!

Momplus2 - the delivery times given to you by the post office is to deliver to the Navy in San Diego. Once the Navy gets it, the post office's responsibility ends. I mail a large flat rate box from Dallas every other Monday. He has gotten them as soon as 10 days and as late as 6 weeks. Sometimes he gets one sooner than another one I sent earlier! Once he got 3 on the same day. At Christmas we sent 12 boxes at the same time and he got them at different times.

When they are out to sea, best I can tell they keep all the mail going out to that ship until they have enough to fly out to them or are flying that way for something else. There is no apparent rhyme or reason but it does take a lot longer.

Hope this help!

I am mailing from Pittsburgh and I'd say average is 4 weeks. They do receive mail when out, but I assume that takes longer to coordinate that shipment process. My understanding is all APO mail goes through CA then gets sent out through military. I do not think it is technically "priority" mail. Never heard about the Monday thing.

I have a question to anyone that can answer...I have been reading all the postal package emails. I sent a package on April 22 from California...my sailor still has not received it. However, he has been out at sea the majority of the time. My question is ...Do they still receive packages/mail when they are at sea? or do they hold it in their port? The post office told me if I sent on a Monday ...it would get their in 5-7 days ...if I sent on any other day it could take up to 14 days to send...this is priority mail too.  Any help on this question would be appreciated.
