I am loving the mail I receive from my recruit. He is a mentally tough, always stoic kind of person. I was surprised when he wrote for me to spread the word, "I want more mail, it's the best part of the day-besides chow." It's really true.

What should I say in the letters?
My boyfriend left for boot camp yesterday and I'm ready for my first letter so I can write him back. There is so much I want to tell him, but I'm not sure how much I should say. I'm scared and sad that he's gone and not taking it very well.

FINALLY, we received our 1st letter from our son! I waited for my wife to arrive so we could open it together. My son says they are going through Hell there. He is anxious to receive mail from us. My advice is to write as many letters as you can.

So its been 2wks now that my son has left too bootcamp, finally got first letter from him couple days ago. Although a short few lines I have a sigh of relief. He didnt think it would be hard being away from home, that the discipline would be so hard.

I am so disappointed. I have received two letters home from my son in basic training. Both asking why I have not sent him any mail. It breaks my heart that he is not being given his letters.

Today I received my son's first letter! I am very happy! It is a pre-written letter with a blank for the addressee and a space for the recruit's signature.
