<li>@txgrayce, I love the idea of sending a questionnaire! What a great way to find out more info, with less writing for them. I'll have to check out Pinterest for ideas as well. I appreciate all the ideas I get from everyone!!</li>

Thank you for this Grayce. Been running out of things to say in the letters I have written. I have enough for 5 weeks so this is really going to help me for my 6th week letter. Praying that my brother stays on track. Thank you to everyone who’s been giving suggestions and sharing their personal stories. I loved reading about it.

<p>You can also write your recruit letters from a pets perspective, the laundry room, his/her bedroom, their vehicle etc.</p>
<p>The November before my son left for BC (2012) we had an early hard freeze. The trunk of the maple tree in the front yard started to split from the hard freeze. I wrote a letter from the trees perspective explaining what was going on and how the people that come out of the hole in the box behind her fixed the problem. Everything was explained in detail, on how "she"…</p>

I wrote a letter from the trees perspective explaining what was going on and how the people that come out of the hole in the box behind her fixed the problem. Everything was explained in detail, on how "she" was fixed and felt about it. That she was now called FrankenMaple, because of the bolt and cable fix, and hated the nickname she was given. My son read it to his buddies, and the all had a good laugh. We still call the tree FrankenMaple.</p>

<p>B'sNukeMom: Love the reply from your SR about what he missed most! haha . Isn't it weird, the things we yearn for while far from home? Interesting it is always the little things that - in everyday life - we take for granted.</p>

<p>Donna816: you are definitely NOT being annoying by writing your SR, believe me. My son told me getting an encouraging letter was the main thing that kept him going some days. They tend to feel SO isolated, especially given the fact that phone calls are few and between and texting/emailing is nonexistent. So write as often as your heart tells you to! :) And good luck to your SR - I'm sure he will do well with your love and support.</p>

<p>I sent multiple questionnaires when my son was in BC back in 2012 since it was so much easier for him to check off the answers. It was a lot of fun asking silly questions. I remember one time the question was "What do you miss most while at BC?". His answer was "peeing standing up!". Never would have expected that! He later explained that his division had some guys that just couldn't hit the urinal without peeing everywhere so they ALL got in trouble and were forced to pee sitting down…</p>

He later explained that his division had some guys that just couldn't hit the urinal without peeing everywhere so they ALL got in trouble and were forced to pee sitting down lol! And what's even worse is that someone was assigned the job of standing in the bathroom and making sure that no one used the urinals! Like he said "good times!".</p> thank you :)tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2019-09-03:1971797:Comment:106390292019-09-03T19:56:42.571Ztxgraycehttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/txgrayce
