Got the letter today

I am sorry...((chuckling out loud))...it's just that we get this on the PIR groups from time to time and I am still scratching my head over it! LOL

They are issued necessities (or are taken to the NEX to buy them as per the RDC sscheduling the trip) so I never quite get it! I will post a link to a Discussion about it from a recent PIR. I joked about the recruit possibly using it to clean the head and one mom did say that hers was using it on his boots!

Usually...the recruits only ask for items to be sent if they have cleared it with their RDC's...they no better than to ask for "contraband"...cookies and goodies...BIG NO,NO...but many will write home and ask for contacts with some solution (travel size) and for the females, make up for PIR. All bulky packages/envelopes, boxes are opened in front of their RDC's for inspection.

So, if he asked...then he should have the "okay" and you can send it. Mark the outside of the package or box with the content.

Here is the link so you can read the responses there:

sending a toothbrush?

Just click the link.

I remember my son put on the form letter, Mom don't cry I'm fine don't worry - of course I  cried BIG TIME! 

He's on deployment now and it's harder than Boot Camp I think!

I received my sons letter yesterday. He is on ship 3 Div 254. He says he is doing good and misses us. He says to tell my daughter/his sister he loves her, what am I chopped liver?? I felt so good getting the letter and with his PIR date. I have mailed him 3 letters with worry and I get his and he says he is fine but things will start to get harder and he states when I see him he will be a completely different person. I didn't even recongnize his writing, block writing. He wrote on the back of the form letter and it felt so good to have him wrote a note on the back. Are there any mothers with children on ship 3 div 254??
