Can someone help me?
Hi all,
I just got my daughters box and I have been reading where you all find some sort of card or something telling you where to send letters and such.
There was nothing in there but the clothes and shoes she was wearing?
I am confused I have letters I want to send but don't know how can someone clear it up for me please?
I am missing her so much and opening that box I thought it would be some sort of lifeline for me but with no address for her it really hurt.
Thanks

Really, everything is all good. No news is good news. Here's something I learned. The cell phone comes back stuck in one shoe; the battery is in the other. I made the mistake of bringing only my son's cell phone, so he could not charge it. When you find what you're looking for in your kid's shoe, why would you continue fishing for more stuff?

be patient you will get a standard letter with info about graduation and there is a few lines on the back bottom that they may use to write a quick note. The return address on it will be the one to write back on. You can send them a phone card and wallet sized picture and some stamps to help them out. The space they have for storage is limited so if you want to send more pics cut and past them to the actual letter. Some other things fyi. the letters you get will have a black out mark on them this is so the machine doesn't read it as a stamp and reject it. also if they list a series or numbers say 2-4 dot it means week two day 4 of training. The may also complain of felling ill. this seems to be routine based on contact with so many others, the shots they get & the routine of training and sleep cycles
