    Paul- I saw your post to Gregg and have two notes-
    first- everyone will go out of their way to get mail to the right recurit at whatever address- having the incorrect street should not be a negative factor.

    second- your son probably won't get his mail until he is a couple of weeks into the program-- mail is used as a reward for the division coming together and starting to think and act as a unit. Don't get worried if YOU don't hear from him as well....remember that the first couple of weeks are used to help break the ties to home and that they are only allowed, in the first part of boot to write on Sundays...meaning Thursdays are the most likely days for you to receive mail. Also remember that mailing supplies are only available at the NEX meaning he has to get the ok to walk there and back and have the money to purcahse those supplies...advise in your mails to send either postage paid postcards or stamped envelopes to make it easier for him to send you mail.

    Paul,
    Thanks much for the information, it goes a long way towards settling the frayed nerves of my wife and myself. Being from a large family, when Bobby does get mail, he will get swamped. Also glad to here they are so deligent in their commitment to our saliors. I keep thinking back to the days I spent in BC, things have changed quite a bit.
