Sending letters back home

Does anyone know if we can send our SR's a priority envelope, inside of a regular envelope, so they can send letters back home? If not, how can we go about getting the letters sent to them, back home, so they don't have to keep up with them?

Pictures?

Okay, I know I'm probably asking a dumb question but..If our SR's have pics taken, and they haven't gotten a check, are we still able to buy them somehow when we go to PIR? Thanks, kindly!

NAVY MAIL, NAVY MAIL, HOT DIGGITY DOG, I GOT NAVY MAIL!

I FINALLY got REAL MAIL! Omg it was so wonderful to hear from her! She seems to be in good spirits and still has her very wonderful sense of humor! She did get injured though(knee injury, bruised), and had to walk on crutches for a few days, or until it's better. I feel so relieved to see her beautiful handwriting on paper! Her last date on letters was March 31, so I hope her knee is recovering, because she was on light duty, and could not stand for more than 15 minutes at a time. She told…

Anyone from Ship 12 Div 147 gotten a phone call or letter yet?

I have seen other ships and divisions saying they have received letters or REAL phone calls already. I have even seen some post that Ship 12, (from other divisions) have received letters. I'm just curious if anyone has heard from their SR from our Ship 12 Division 147?

Are we notified of Ship/Division changes?

Just a thought here. I just wondered, if an SR has a change in Ship/Divison, will we be notified? It would be awful to be sending mail to the wrong one, so I know there will be someone on here that can answer the question. Thanks so much!

Pet Friendly Hotels?

Does anyone know of a hotel that accepts pets(for a fee of course)? Before my daughter left, she made me promise to bring her puppy people, so she could see them after PIR.

What clothing is and isn't acceptable for PIR?

I was just wondering what clothing is and is not acceptable to wear at PIR. I specifically am asking about T-shirts. Is there anything that is totally a no-no? My husband and I have matching T-shirts that say NAVY(we are not in military) on them and wondered if they were acceptable to wear for PIR. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Received "The Box" but no information packet...what now?

I just received my daughter"box" today but there is nothing in it to tell me her PIR date or anything really. I understood this would be inside the box. What in the world do I do now?
