Yes, the MRPO HAS to be trained...but I am sure it is one of the FIRST ones they work on LOL! It doesn't take long...what can hold it up on occassion is if the current one "loses" the position. So really only a week or so after the Division is formed hipefully.

I am sure he knows you did not forget about him dear...I understand how hard it is...it took 11 days for me to get my form Letter and the info from the recruiter was incomplete...so yes, they had mail call before my letters arrived. He actually called before he got any mail from me. I am in SoCal though so at LEAST four days travel time.

It is very hard for us and them...something we have to try and get used too in the military.But boy it's hard. Even after all this time...I lived for hubby's call every three days when he was deployed. Sometimes he didn't get to call and my mind would start to play tricks on me. Gotta get out of THAT mode as fast as possible!

Just think about all those letters arriving for him at once...it will be like his Birthday or something!

For the recruits who have A school in Great Lakes what time will they have to be back on Sunday night? Trying to decide if we will leave on Sunday night or wait until Monday. Thanks!

FTLW, so even if I have the correct address he still wouldn't get the letters till after they train the MRPO? I just want to make sure because I don't want him to feel like I forgot about him, which is FAR from the case, I've already written over 20 letters for him. 

I do have his recruiter's information, he's not that great at getting back to people but I'll keep trying to get in contact with him.

Michelle - It is very important that mail is addressed correctly. When it is not it can take longer to get to the recruit...or even returned to you.

Recruits recieve mail M-Sa...but may not be able to read it until Sunday for the first few weeks.

An MRPO - Mail Recruit Petty Officer must be appointed, trained and pass a test that allows them to handle the mail as it is a Federal entity. This could take a week or so, hoepfully no more than two.

Do you have contact with his recruiter? If so, they should be able to get his address for you. If it "looks funny" we can help you figure it out.

Looks like a few future brothers of the phin in the group.  My son is also going Groton for sub school.

When do the sailors receive their mail? Do they have a specific "mail day"? If I was to send my husband a letter to a random address is there any way possible that they would get it to him?? With everyone else receiving their form letters and sending out their own letters to their recruits I am starting to worry that "mail day" will come for my husband and he won't have anything from me :(
