annebelle, you can send as many letters as you want.  If you do decide to send a card, please make sure that it is not musical, has no glitter and don't send any colored envelopes, etc.  You don't want draw any unwanted attention to your SR.  Cards are perfectly fine to send, as long as they are in a white envelope with none of the above.  Sending a calling card is a great idea and I would send one with at least 300 to 500 minutes on them.  The phones at RTC use up a lot of minutes just to have the call connect.

I just bought a cell phone arm band on Ebay. So when it arrives I can start my walking again. I only talked to my son for 1 minute as he was being timed. I hate that he is sick. I asked him about the swimming. It's like, Dah Mom, I passed. LOL I knew that. I am curious about what we can send him? His friend bought him a card, I didn't even think of it. Knowing my son, he is allowing others to use his.

annebelle, yes, some calls are used as rewards, but then others may need to call for additional information for their security clearances as well.  Unfortunately having a missed call does happen and to most of us, but don't worry another call will come.  You just never know when the next one will be, so it's always a good plan to keep those phones with you at all times!

They say that phone calls are like rewards, is that true? My son called twice. I  missed his first call. After that, I keep the cell on me at all times. Stephanie, I hope you get your call soon!

12F :-( My son called Friday and said it was cold and he was also sick with a cold. Ah, but training goes on. I send him a warm blanket of love.

Stephanie, they will, trust us!  You will be so surprised at how fast the time will fly.   Write those letters and keep real busy.  It will be Feb. pretty soon.  Just think of the weeks going by, as how many Fridays, then how many wake ups, til you see him again.

KylesMom:  There is a mistake in the form letters since according to the RTC page, all divisions within a PIR group will have the same number of guests.

Now I have to ask....is there anyone in this PIR group who had an SR leave out of Milwaukee Jan 9th?  I know there was 1 male and 3 females that left with my SR and I am curious if I already met your kids!
