Reneric, listen. We are all with you! Start the week fresh and write him a letter tonight and send it snail mail. Meanwhile, try to have your recruiter get the phone number for the post office there in Great Lakes. Your express mail is in a safe place...if you or the recruiter could just TALK TO a real person at the post office and tell them what's going on, maybe they can try to deliver a 2nd time this week, during the week! Don't give up...this has got to get better for u both...
prayers and hugs, we will get through this together!
Hey Reneric...been thinking about you and your son. Any news yet???
He should get your express mail today if he didn't earlier, during liberty???
hoping you hear some good news this week.

Reneric,
omgosh, so sorry to hear about your son. Maybe the guys in our DIV can help him make it through! It's so hard not being there and being able to talk about it right away. If he could just hang in there a little longer, it seems
like things get easier (a little) the longer they are there. Praying for you and your son!
hi Reneric!
I haven't heard a word about the DIV C.O. or the make up of the DIV as to
guys and gals. We seem to have some wonderful kids, though, based on the comments
for PIR 4/29/11....I would scan through the comments on PIR 4/29/11 and see what u can find out. We are just BEGINNING to get phone calls and mail! :)
