AndrewB/Mom, what paperwork was in the "box" with your SR's picture on it? I still haven't umpacked my daughter's box...I opened it and looked through it....but haven't been able to convince myself to go through it.....or to start going through her room.  She made piles of things/clothing she wanted to keep and give away.....I cant bring myself to do it. 

Thanks so much, it was all I was really looking forward to today when I got home and nothing! I am getting better, i just want to be able to hear what he is doing and how he is.  Hopefully soon or next week.  Just really focusing on 4/19

Please don't be too bummed. We will hear from our SR's eventually. They are just so busy. The following was posted by a Sailor who was in the 900 on the fb, it made me feel a little better:

**Mail** As far as mail goes, we were only allowed to read and send out mail on Sundays (holiday routine). When week 4 hit, that's when we were able to get mail and send mail everyday.Starting week 4, writing letters was during evening routine which is an hour before we went to sleep. The first 25 minutes of evening routine was letter writing and the last 35 was boot shining or whatever. On Sundays we had up until 1300 or 1:00 to write letters

**Phone Calls** We were only guaranteed to have 3 phone calls. The first was when we first arrived at Boot camp, the second is around week 4 or 5, and the third is after battle stations in week 7. But we were able to earn phone calls by achieving at different things.
