My SR will be staying in Great Lakes for A school. He says I need to mail him something to put all of the letters back in to mail back home? What kind of envelope should I send him? I'm lost. And he needs paper to write more letters. So...should I just sent paper and a self-addressed stamped envelope in one big package?

I sent my SR a big envelope folded inside a big envelope along with one of those small like legal pads with more regular envelopes and stamps. I put stamps on the envelope he was sending back so he didnt have to us the stamps he had or the ones I just sent him. I got all his stuff back last week. Was nice to see he had been getting so many letters and cards from everybody.

I know my son said he got a lot of mail also. Is there a place where he can keep those letters with him?I know those letters are precious to him and I know he probably enjoys reading those letters again for inspiration.He
wrote me last week to let me know he is in good spirits and the team was coming together and he was enjoying PT. He also told me he had his wisdom teeth out around the week before Christmas , that's what I m guessing he had it done. He did say that's when they got a chance to make phone calls but since he was in SIQ he missed his opportunity but that he had to reschedule his call. I was kind of wondering why he wasn't smiling in that picture because he's ussually a happy guy!!I hope he'll call soon. But if for some reason he doesn't I understand that he needs to do Gods work and that's OK!!!

Got a letter yesterday, my SR indicated that he has to redo his mile run because evidently if you throw up afterwards regardless of your time it is considered a fail. So he had to rerun it. Says he bought me a sweatshirt with there division flag on it. So cant wait to see him and that sweatshirt.
