That happened to my husband, I sent him a letter a day for his whole time in boot camp..the first call I got he was in shock I even answered!! They had kept all of his letters for the first few weeks to mess with him, because they knew they were from his significant other..due to the perfume sprayed on it, cute hearts on the envelope...needless to say I no longer made it obvious that they were love letters! He eventually got them, one at a time while being read off and the commander (or whatever they call him) tried to embarrass him with the pet names I called him. Quite funny looking back now, but definitely not fun at the time!! He will get his letters, dont worry!

They do not keep letters away from the recruits to mess with them. That is a perception the guys have, but it is BS. In reality, each division must train a recruit Mail P.O. to legally handle the mail. This takes two weeks at a minimum. So NO ONE gets their letters before that mail handling training is complete, and whoever is being trained still has to do their boot camp training. It is easy to think it is a mind game. It isn't, it is just following federal guidelines.
And if they were "read off"... that is one hell of a violation and quite illegal. They are only supposed to open big, thick letters to check for contraband. The chief would know better, but sometimes the recruit CPO makes this mistake. If anyone's SR is having letters read out loud, they need to complain to the RDC, and if the RDC is doing it, then go to the chaplain. Most SR's are afraid to say anything, but if something illegal is happening, it has to be corrected.

When my fiance called (after 1 week and a half in training) he told me that he hadn't recieved any of my letters either and i write to him everyday. Sometimes they have to wait for someone to be assigned the job as their male person... im not sure if he has gotten them yet... i got two letters from him on thursday and he said that he should be calling today but i am still waiting for the call:( ... i will ask him if he has gotten my letters when i get the chance to speak to him.

We'll the whole thing with it taking a few weeks is understandable, but what really freaked out Tyler was that everyyyyyoneeeee else BUT him was getting letters. But I sent them from day one, everyday. And they didn't read the letter itself, but the little notes on the back of the envelope, like "to my handsome hero" or "sealed with love" just corny stuff like that. He got about 2.5 weeks worth all at once
