<p>When they are allowed to write outside of Sundays, they still can't mail their letters so Wednesday or Thursday will continue to be the only day you can hope for a letter (depending on where you live). The one letter may be more of a journal written over several days which is great. We only had one exception and that was our son's second-to-the-last week of BC when they were allowed to mail a letter on Thursday (I think) so we'd have it before we left for PIR. </p>

<p>By the way, my hubby always laughed at the way I'd rush home on Wednesdays to read our son's latest letters; however, my hubby almost never stops at the mailbox to grab the mail EXCEPT when our son was in BC. During those 8 weeks, the mail suddenly became very important to him too! :) </p> T-Los...they get mail every d…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2012-05-09:1971797:Comment:70491182012-05-09T13:55:14.701ZJessicaB-Sailor Momhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/jessB
<p>T-Los...they get mail every day but on Sunday and Holidays. I think their first mail call is on a Sunday(not sure) but after that it's just like us. At first they can only write letters on Sun but later (week 4 or so) they can write on Tue and Thurs.</p>
<p>Be sure to read the info in the discussion forum in your PIR group.....lots of info. You will need to click on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">View All</span> and go back to page 1.</p>

<p>Good Morning Navy Mom's I have a question about mail. I just received the letter from my son with his address last week and I have been writing letters everyday. Do they get the mail everyday or do they just get all their mail on one day like on a Saturday or Sunday.</p>

<p>I know how you feel. I've had a few missed calls. Each time he sounded like he was trying not to cry. It made me so sad, too. I finally mailed him a letter and on the outside of it I put "Do not open unless Mom doesn't answer the phone." Inside the envelope I wrote him a letter that said how sorry I was I missed his call and that it didn't mean I didn't love him or wasn't thinking about him but that was just how things happened sometimes.

Inside the envelope I wrote him a letter that said how sorry I was I missed his call and that it didn't mean I didn't love him or wasn't thinking about him but that was just how things happened sometimes. I reminded him that before technology, people went for months or years before getting news of family and that we should keep that in mind and be grateful we do have technology. I reminded him in the letter also, that no one loved him more than his mother and for him to hold that in his heart. I felt better sending that letter to him. He hasn't opened it yet, I've been lucky recently and have gotten all his calls. Hang in there momma. Does anyone beside me ever think of that song "Somewhere out there" from the movie "An American Tail"? I do sometimes, and I go outside and look at the moon and know he is out there looking at the stars and moon also. Sometimes good days, sometimes bad.

<p>singlelady....so sorry to hear that...write him and let him know how proud you are and how sorry you missed the call...but now you have the voice mail to hear him over and over...when is his grad date? There is a PIR group for you to join with lots of info and support...you are not alone. They can share phone call and letter info with you and perhaps let you know when to expect calls</p>
