Our son said he misses wierd things like carpet, they sat on the hard tile for 9 hours on Thanksgiving week-end, not being able to talk, he says he thinks he is losing his social skills, (haha), he misses seeing dogs, there are no animals anywhere, wearing sandals and listening to music. He wanted me to send stationary, does anyone know if they can buy it there?

Hi Cindy, yes they can buy stationary there probably at the NEX, my sons letters are all on navy stationary. The letters have the navy emblem but weirdly, the emblem on the envelopes is blacked out with marker. I wonder why... You might want to send him stamps...

My son's too. It's a security thing, maybe? Or maybe they can't use the emblem on the outside until they are sailors instead of recruits?
