Did the box have any kind of address to reach him at?

the lable had a street address but no division number so I don't think that would work. I called his recruiting chief and he said that I can stop by Monday and he should probably be able to get me an address by then if I don't get a letter with the information before then.

I know what you mean. I searched everything just hoping maybe i might find a hidden note - but i really didn't think there was time for him to do that - but i still checked. :-) I talked to his recruiting chief quite a few times over the last year and I really liked him. A nice guy. So I felt comfortable calling him and asking him about the address. I know that even once I get the address and send the pages I've written so far each night that it will still probably take a while for it to find it's way to him - but at least I will know it is on it's way. I was wondering if I should send him some postage stamps? I just want to make sure that I get a letter as soon as possible. I think I probably will stick a few inside the envelope. I bet we are jumping up and down when we get our letters from them.

You don't need to send stamps, they just buy them there. And they can keep all their letters...at least hope. My bf hasn't said anything about throwing mine away so he must still have them.

yeah they keep all the letters, i told him to mail them back if he was running out of room & he said "NO WAY, I READ THEM ALL THE TIME "
