I'm just wondering who the N4Ms are who have SRs in this Division. Hopefully we will be getting mail/calls and can share the information.

I got my mail Thursday, I was wondering since they wrote it on Sunday is that how long the letters will regularly take to arrive home?

I think they only get to write on Sundays -- but since Monday was a holiday, maybe you could expect to receive letters on Wednesday. Also I think that they get mail everyday -- but only have time to write on Sunday.

My SR`s mother just got home from a graduation elsewhere and she posted it on FB and everything. I don`t know the exact day that she got it but she was excited and she cried a whole bunch (tears of JOY) .l0l All the other family members received their letters aswell and got right on to writing their letters. I just can`t wait until I can start sending my mail again and also receiving his one.

Great! You can send a letter everyday! I've been sending a letter every day -- just with the day to day stuff we are doing and also questions for him like -- how is the food? etc. Just questions that come into my mind.

Okay I have one thing that I`m confused about and that is how long will it take for our mail to get to the BC? I`ve read on a google search that they receive it everyday so I`m thinking if I sent it on Monday he`ll get it Tuesday. Is that correct or not, because I read yesterday that some were saying that it would take up to 5-10 days for them to receive it or maybe I read it wrong. I would really LOVE it if anyone could clear that for me. Please and Thank you. Oh & I`m from Tennessee.

I have heard they can get mail every day but maybe it takes awhile for the mail to actually make it to their division. With so many recruits at GL maybe it takes some time to sort the mail at RTC and get it to them. So your letter might make it to the RTC within 2 days, but by the time it is sorted, etc. it might take some days longer -- maybe depending on what the recruits are doing because as I understand it some SRs from their division has to do the mail.
