gaylemm:  I would suggest that you scan the photos you send on computer paper...collage-style...front and back.  They can store the paper better....very limited storage space there...and it is mailed like a letter.

As far as the RDCs, they are all different as far as attention to mail.  You just never know!  Some may not mind colored envelopes, etc at all....others may single out the SR to open it.  I think you are wise to try one and see what happens...hopefully all will be well!

My sister -in-law sent this size to her daughter she was at Paris Island (marine corp) and she said she never had any problems.You can kind of see through them so I guess I'll wait n see if I get negative feedback from my son. I hate trying to cram a photo in a regular size envelope.

I still haven't gotten my form letter and I'm getting very discouraged.

Just so you know, I sent colored envelopes (very, very colorful enevelopes) and nothing was ever said to Aaron. I would say it's safe to send the envelopes that comes with the cards. That's just my opinion-- You can be as cautious as you'd like. :)

However, a 6x9in. envelope will most likely be searched my RDC's. 

It's a great idea, but it may raise suspicion as to what is in the envelope and still give your recruit the extra attention you were originally trying to avoid.

I just wanted to post- I found the best envelopes for sending cards and letters.Went to Office Dep and got a pkg of 6 in x 9in clean seal catalog envelopes.They were about 5 bucks for 25. They will hold a greeting card and a letter or two! They are white and not too big.That way you can purchase the card even if it has a colored envelope-and send the card and a letter together.I started saving the colored envelopes  in case I needed one for something else. :)

Still waiting for the actual divisions to be posted by RTC, Jaime.
