Navy Dads

so just a question, I know recruits can only send letters on Sundays and its my girlfriends 4 week at RTC, i got a lot of letters last week and i kept doing what she asked big and was to send letters and cards and pictures which i did. I mail a letter everyday so she can get mail almost everyday and try and keep her spirits. come home from work to nothing in my mail box from her and i did the math if im not wrong i should of gotten a letter from her or letter she may have written during the week when i talked to her on the phone she was given time to write besides Sunday but could only mail on Sundays.... i haven't asked her parents if they received anything i rather not. Is it possible that she may have gotten in trouble or her unit and they couldn't mail on Sundays or is that next to impossible? i made the mistake of sending her a very important letter in the wrong envelope. Ive also sent her extra stamps and an extra phone card for just in case. i just fell kinda lost and confused.

I don't see her just quiting. She's smarter than that and she's halfway through training. She didn't have a reason to join she was stuck going to school to do something she didn't wanna do, and life around her was caving in she dated some jerks and I feel it kinda ran her out of her home. She's an only child and to me having 2 older brothers I wouldn't know what to. She was stuck and wanted out and she walked into the miltary, not going to lie I've seen about 5 of my firends from high school do or and others planned to do it since day one where she didn't plan, she walked into the navy office they said you could be a nuke and she laughed it off and went took the test DEP in and took the nuclear test and got a really high scores and got accepted. For me it just sucks that I met her 2 months before she left and she said that all the time. She was regeting it at the last minute and in her letters but it changed and I hope she is still in a better part of her mind but I'm not going to stop what I'm doing I'm still sending her letters till I can't which is a week prior to PIR because of the day gap between mailing here in California to Great Lakes plus my surgey is 2 days prior to her PIR and I will be on my computer watching it at home and waiting for the phone call. For now I stay postive. I'm also have the right to be sad from time to time because I'm always thinking about her and never will stop thinking about her
Today around 2:30 my time I got a phone call form her from RTC, got to talk to her for almost 20 minutes before she had to go, they had a time to stop at and they allowed them to have 10 extra minutes. It made my day and it tops letters by far. She is getting all of my letters. What doesn't make sense is that she told me she mailed a second batch on Sunday with 3 letters for me and I still havnt recivered them and it's been a week I know it takes over 2 days to get them but still. Now I know it's the post office I'm going to have he change how he writes my address cause something is really wrong with that unfortually I havnt gotten the second batch I was going to tell her to change to our original address cause the area I live in they incorporate into a new city in 2011 the switch still hasn't happened but I told her to out the new name cause that's the name of the city. But my Mom said they been waiting on something form my dad that still hasn't come yet so I think our post office is all kinds of jacked up
Jim my throughs were right I mailed her a letter Monday morning and one Tuesday morning and she got Monday's Thursday and Tuesday's yesterday. I don't understand how I havnt gotten my letters. I don't really care at this point all I know is she's getting the letters and she's working her hardest to get phone calls home and I couldn't be any more prouder than that. Getting to hear her voice again and knowing that I made her day as much as her making my mine in my books that's all I could ask for. She goes to A school after boot camp unfortunately which is fine because when she comes home for Christmas she's going to try and take some time off. I plan to propose to her
Yes sir the thought been in my head but it won't be for another 6 months from now. I have a strong felling we will still be together I know we can get through anything. This is a big test and when I talked to her she said if it wasn't for me she would for me standing by her and writing non stop and being supportive and doing what Im doing she wouldn't have made it this far. I could hear it in her voice and she couldn't stop giggling the whole time. I heard them say times up and she wanted to cry cause she didn't wanna go. We could of talked for hours really. Ask much as I didn't wanna her to go I said its ok and told her to go and we said our good byes and I loves you's and she was gone. I now know that I need to keep doing what I'm doing because I'm the only one she really cares about besides her parents of course
Yeah my son left last Thursday the 25th and I got the call when he got there and we got his package, I'm just curious when may we get his first letter? Thanks
Larry when you get the forum letter It will have the address, start writing and send them when you get the address. you may get a phone call before letter. My girlfriend was in a extra week of p days and she called home June 13th which was a Saturday and she mailed letters the next day. But I mailed her the letter the day after we got the forum letter, it came on a Monday I mailed on a Tuesday she got it the day before she was able to call home. I've learned that she now able to call home on Saturdays I guess they earn it if they work very hard. Send an extra phone card, I sent her one and she was just beyond excited so now she can call both me and her parents if she wants. They can only mail on Sunday's
The forum letter gets sent the last day of p days.
