letter to other SR
I read somewhere on here, not sure which group, maybe this one, about writing to other SR in your SR division. I asked my SR for names but by the time the letters go back and forth its three weeks later and that's close to graduation. I would like to write directly to other SR in my SR division who don't get a lot of support from their family. How would I go about that? and what do you say to a complete stranger?

When i talked to my son on the phone, i told him i would put a star in the corner of an envelope and that means it's to be given to an SR who isn't getting mail. I've only done this twice and haven't heard how it went, but i'll keep sending themm hoping they help someone.

I write to SR ANY SALIOR RECUIT and then use my son's Ship and Div info.
I send notes about how impressed I am that they choose to join and how proud they should be. I send funny cards like..... I know its hard....but this too shall pass. May hurt like a kidney stone....but it will pass. Just things to make them laugh. I sure hope it makes them smile.
It makes me smile everyday.

Every time I send an envelope to my SR, I also include a letter in that envelope for an SR who might not get a letter on that day. On the outside of the letter, I write a note to my SR telling him to give to somebody who did not get a letter and needs some encouragement. To the random SR, I write words of encouragement to lift his spirits, to let him know that I am praying for him, to let him know that I and tons of other people are very proud of him, I tell him he is strong. Just be sure to be encouraging in those letters.
