Blessed Sunday!
"And this is my prayer that your love may abound
more and more in knowledge and depth of insght,
so that you may be able to discern what is best
and may be pure and blameless until the day
of Christ, filled with the fruit of rigteousness that
comes through Jesus Christ -- to the glory and
praise of God."
Philippians 1:9-11
Manny: RTC FB should post that info tomorrow or Tues!
You are very welcome, pennys. We love helping on here!
oopps, Sorry diannep and everybody, I did not mean to put WITHOUT ALL OF YOU, sorry....LOL
Good morning everyone, diannep, I would like to thank you and all the veteran members for all the comments, encouragement,and questions you all have answered for us moms, , without all of you, I have leaned so much about what is going on and you all have helped me be patient through this exciting time in mine and my SR's life. Thank you ALL and have a great day!!
Good Morning!
pennys, Probably now. LOL The mail delivery to the recruits can be spotty PIR week. They will not have mail on Friday, they might not get mail the day they finish BS. They will try and forward mail that hasn't been delivered, but it doesn't always happen. They handle 1500-2000 of undeliverable mail each week, so some just gets returned.
Congratulations Divisions 251 and 252!!!! Can't wait till next week, not only to get my "I'm a Sailor" call, but to see my Sailor!!! In her last letter she wrote that her uniform is baggy on her and has to use a belt to hold up her pants, and laughed about it, so I know she still has her sense of humor so things must be going well, :} Best of luck to all the divisions waiting their turn!!!
Can someone answer this question for me please. I write and mail a letter or card to her every day when should we stop mailing them?
