sherry that's very cool you send so many letterswhen my other son when he was much more active in the youth group and he received a lot of letters didn't seem to be an issue like this time it seems like so many kids are not getting letters this time reading it in different divisions. .. and I think  that's a heck of a drive coming from Texas but I think it would be nice if the weather's permitting, I'll be driving from Tennessee to Detroit to pick up his grandmother then over to Chicago but we love to drive so its no problemhis brother is stationed in San Diego he will be fly into Knoxville to drive with me it's a surprise nobody knows his grandma is going to freak out lol

I send one large yellow envelop every Monday. I had my church, his teachers and priniple, and a bunch of his friends write him letters. I send about 10 each time and he LOVES it. He asked if I would send him song lyrics and pictures too. I included a letter with the "to:" blank, I'm sure there is someone in  group that could use a letter. I left "reply optional". I do have a few teachers that I know, I will ask them to have their class write to the #139, that's a great idea. Yeah, I don't think they could ever get TO MUCH mail. As for transportation, I think we are going to drive up (we are in Texas) and take a few days to spend in the city, I LOVE Chicago and have family there...UNLESS someone has found some great priced airfare.

okay I work at a high school and I was thinking how  some of these recruits are not getting letters I went to my special education department and talk to them they are going to have the kids write a bunch of letters and we will mail them in one big envelope if anyone else is a teacher works at a school maybe you your kids could  do the same. that would be a good project for elementary students also

Christophersmom..  Hang in there..  My heart goes out to you & any other moms that didn't get to talk to their sons/daughters...

 if it helps they didn't have to bust the butts  for that phone call,   it  will be the next one they have to work for.  at least it was that way when my other son was in  boot camp.

I send one ENVELOPE a day, how many letter are in there depend on the day, I write as often as I feel that day and write the date and time on them, at the end of the night I put them all in one envelope and send them! My husband said he loves that!!

NavyGF88, I don't think you can over do the letter writing...well maybe you can, but 10 or 20 a day may be hard to do, and the postage would be outrageous. :)

Chicago-Midway IS the furthest airport from GL, but remember, chances are that your sailor will fly from either Ohare or Midway...in case you plan to visit with them on their departure day.  We have heard they will start flying from Milwaukee too, but not sure that has started yet.
