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 try not to be selfish in my letters i always try to stay postive. In every letter i always remind her how much im proud of her, im here to support her and how much I love her, shes my world. i understand that ever second of everyday is stressful and shes going threw hell, ive gotten over not being able to see her, and trust me she is very very home sick shes just doing a good job and pushing throught it. When she sent me the first set of letters she dated them she wrote one every night to me from the day they got there bunks. I could see she was ready to quit and never go back and i told her before she left if she decides to quit no matter what happens i will always be in support of her no matter what happens. I even texted her that when she got off the plane for RTC and we had a short phone call before she walked into the USO and she was gone. 2 weeks ago before i got letters her DIV earned the phone call home and she was very sad that no one answered but was over joyed when i answered my phone the second time around she called and left a voice mail and i hated my self for that and i still do. I held my phone in my hand and waited and waited than she called again. I understand it boot camp and they break you down but when she told me she was forgetting who she really was i wanted to cry, it took 1 letter from me and only me to keep her going, she was crying because they were hiding all the mail from them and she was first on the second pile they pulled out. Now I write a letter everyday and send one everyday i go to the post office on my lunch walk in and drop it in there box or at the desk if there is no line. I sometimes think maybe they are not giving them to her but than i think if thats the fact once they do she will have a stack all from me. I send 7 a week, and i send 2 on mondays and sometimes a card in the middle of the week that usally counts as letter because i write in them a short note. One thing I put in my letters I tell her everything I do during the day, what i did at work what i saw if anything happened. Than i say if i tell her if i go out with friends. I also remind her of her gift that i bought her for her graduation i wish i could make it but i unfortunately can not due to having throat surgery 2 days prior to her graduation, if she would of started her Pdays and training days a week earlier i would of been on a plane to go watch it with her parents. Im send her gift with her mom. at the end of every letter i tell her goodnight and remind her of how proud i am and i tell her i love her again.
....and don't forget...."Hurry up and wait"!!!!....also a big part of Military life...LOL!
