Thank you because I was also thinking March 11th. My son left on 1/5/16 and while it's early for the box, letters, etc., the waiting part is tough. Thank you for this site as it has helped me to know that this is normal. Thanks again.

We received the box today so, hopefully, the form letter is not too far behind. but I was wondering why his writing tablet, stamps an envelopes were also sent back. we were told to send these items with him so was wondering if we misunderstood. No biggie, just curious. Thank you

Beth, yes, he could have kept the writing materials. He chose to send them back rather than attempt to put them in his "Valuables" Sock. We usually suggest sending stamps and you can send those back to him when you get his address in The Form Letter. He will get stationery at the RTC and can buy stamps at the NEX. See Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit.
Check your My Page.

I didn't know that we could send stamps, his recruit told me they provide stamps

Denise, Your recruit can purchase stamps at the NEX. See Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit.
I left info for you on your My Page.
