Me and some members of my Letters from Home Project have just started a new project to send out some care packages to sailors and soldiers deployed. If you have a loved one who is deployed and would like for their division or unit to receive a care package, please send me that name and address and I will add it to the list...thank you :)

Hi all... Just wanted to let you all know about a great program for Recruits. CallsforRecruits.org has FREE phone cards for recruits in bootcamp. If you or someone you know is leaving soon for bootcamp, go to the website and get some phone cards for them to use while they are at BC. They can use them at A school or anytime if they need them, although most people have cell phones these days LOL. Just thought I would pass along the info....

HI, Ronny I try to contact you by email about the calling cards how can i get
some for my son?
Thank you so much! I appreciate it and so does my son! Thank you for all you do!
How long does it take to receive the phone cards?
Hi, this is hard I miss my boy he is due to graduate this month, we only spoke once. i am so very proud of him but I do worry. What will happen after graduation. will we have more contact during "A" school?
Thanks for the welcome! I've actually purchased a blanket from you!
I am a bit tardy but thank you for the welcoming message. I will most likely have some questions as we get closer to PIR.
Thank you so much for the info!!
Thank you for the Welcome and I have finally found my way back here. I am having difficulty navigating the sites so please bear with me as I am doing my best. My son left August 19th for BC PIR is 10/18. Thus far I have made flight reservations as well as hotel reservations. I have wrote daily or have sent cards (or both) I did receive a call yesterday and he mentioned it would probably be his last for approx 2 weeks. He sounds great and making adjustments to Navy Life. There Division has improved and even got a Flag yesterday. I don't know much about that so I will need to find where to look for info on that. I am forever proud and can't wait til PIR. Suggestions or tips is always appreciated.
Thank you Ronny!
