You ladies don't know how important you were in getting me through this. I'm a military wife so I didn't think this would be so bad. Boy was I wrong! Yesterday was my black day as I just KNEW that letter was coming. I even went home from work today at lunch...28 miles one way, to check the box and still no letter. I had 6 letters waiting with return address and stamp and just needed that precious delivery address. Marcelle, I used the one you gave me and mailed JUST ONE. That way if something goes wrong, 1 letter lost isn't so bad but I have peace of mind that my SR will have it as soon as he possibly can if the information the recruiter gave me is correct. Thank you for your prayers. Tonight is the first night I have actually been able to relax a little.

WeeBee's Mom: It is priceless having the support from other moms. I just received my son's form letter yesterday in PA, postmarked 8/22. The address is the same as the recruiter gave me, which is the address that Marcelle gave to you. I understand your not wanting to risk losing the letters. Is there a way you can copy them, and keep a copy in case address is different; this way he has something meanwhile. I hear it takes about 5-10 days. Though it will probably just be another day until you get the letter. Keep in mind that no news is good news.

WeeBee's Mom,
I know the feeling, I mailed my son's letter out Friday, with address recruiter gave. I felt relief that he would at least get a letter at mail call. If you want to private message me and give your sons first name and last initial I could write my son and ask, I don't know if this would help or not...I know the letter will come, I know it. Is there anyway you could double check with the recruiter to check the address in computer.
I completely understand the anxiety of not knowing and the love we have for our children!!
God Bless, I am praying always..

WeeBee:s Mom, I hope today is your lucky day! I think TritonMom had a good idea and make copies and send them with the address that Marcelle and the recruiter gave you. It will make you feel better. My letter was also postmarked 8/22 and I got the letter on Monday. Please let us know today how you are doing.
