Ok, why can't you send them Food? When the Heck did that Change?Who says you can't send food? I recently had a friend and a family member in the sand box and I sent treats to both of them. I don't know why the rules would be different during boot camp or school/training. Hmmmm. Gonna have to ask.

*Points Up* SHS just said No Food. Ever. Ever. Ever.Yeah, just saw that. I wonder why. *iz confuzzled*

I have the suspicion it has something to do with the way the recruit is regarded. If he receives food, he is regarded as a spoiled baby or something like that. It's just a suspicion.
If SHS says no food, I wouldn't send food anyway.

It's just a suspicion.It's been too long since I knew someone who was in boot camp, but once they're in the field, as long as they share (and I sent plenty to be shared), those who receive treats are quite popular. (But it's academic at this point since I don't have an address to send goodies to anyway.)

PSPs??
Ah, you might have to ask about those.
Drats, missed GW.
Take very good care of yourself, GW.
Email us when you can and let us know when we can write (pen and paper no less)
to you.
You will be very, very missed.
(((((((((((((((((((((GW)))))))))))))))))))))))))

I think the best idea would be to ask the boys what they want and what
they can have without causing trouble.
PsyOps was what I heard but not sure what branch, Raisins.
Urgh, now I understand why no food.
[REDACTED NAME] is GW's real name
also please for address
I have half a written letter... I don't want to finish it till I know where to send it...
Devil May Cry is GW's real name

@Rasins: Ah...so That's why no Food...Noted. What about things Like Cards and Poker Chips? Or is that a No no too? And That's cool your Son amd GW are going to be Together Ras n_n .
otlan if you want any pictures sent forward them to me and I will print them on normal paper if you can not do it at home...
glasses?
yes I would not like to be with out my glasses
but then I would never be physically well enough to join any armed forces...
and your welcome
thank you for your help
we would all like to stay in touch with our friend
I would limit it to cards and letters. In fact if you want to send (up to PG rated) pictures, it would be best to print them on regular paper. If they feel something odd in an envelope they'll make the recruit open it right then and there and show everyone. Regular paper is cool though.
His first name yes, that is not big deal. Her family name, no. That is the problem. There is a reason why you don't post your real name. And same is valid for him. If he wants to share details, is up to him, but it is his decision, not yours. And no, not hard at all to find.
*grins to Otlan+ You are right, I was confused.
See my previous post, but once they are out of Boot you can send goodies, but I'd still ask what they might want.
I know that GW and my son will be together for the next 21 years. Anyone know what SHS is going in as?
21 years? :o
I like what you did with your post, Ot. :). I think he will like it too.
Speaking of what, I think we should ask a mod to stick this thread, so it is not erased. So GW could read it when he is back on line. And he can post here when he comes visiting.

You rang?
Yes, a farewell like this needs to be front and center, both for now and for later at check-in times.
By the by Raisins, what kind of pics do the guys like? Above and beyond good looking women.
What? Huh? Who?
Drop us a note when you can GW. Good luck, and don't worry, the CC's only yell at you because they love you. You'll find the love everybody. ;)
Since we aren't allowed to send GW food, I thought I'd post things that I wish I could send him. Like these peanut butter cupcakes.

lol they sound a bit like my NHS glasses (thick dark blue frames... but I have dicided I like wire rim glasses better... the weight is better on my small face, lucky you get some choice on the NHS, not much but some)
I still would not like people messing with my glasses
I fined them useful and have to make them last as long as I can as replacing them costs money
For Reg, because I am sure he wants one right about now.ooooooooohh

Edited: I forgot to put the picture in before. Duh.
Received a letter from Joshua yesterday. He said he'd met GW and they were able to talk a bit.
Yee-ha!
Glad to hear that Raisins.My RDC's tried telling the navy, but they just refused to listen.
I'm not too worried about GW - I'm more worried about the Navy.
They know not what they've taken on. ??? ???
My RDC's tried telling the navy, but they just refused to listen.
Oh, and by the way, I told GW that there were certain people on here who really wanted to hear from him. He got the message.
Did you read it all? It's very good, I think :)It made me laugh a lot. I feel so blessed by all the people who are hanging around. Even a surprise appearance from some old chums.
Are you comparing me to the doom of damacles like some common street thug? *is aghast*
(((Snow))) The navy thinks very high of my abilities, it gives me monies, free foods, and a nice place to sleep. Also a first class education. So obviously I have obscured my true nature from them. lol
Nope, Sword of Damocles is a classic thing therefore not for some common street thug.Do you think I would have survived boot camp any other way? Psssh. I scaled it way back. Very few people knew the real me. One of my RDC's favorite things to say to people was "Don't be weird dude." And when he said it to me, it was almost a personal attack.
And we all know that you're not common - Weird yes - Common - NO! :D :D
I'll bet you've hidden your inner Weirdling from them. ::) ::)
Recruit Division Commander . Like a drill instructor but smarter and a lot of attention to detail. Uniform inspections for miles. Do not tell them about your favorite book series. They will judge you.
We were supposed to say aloud something we knew about another recruit. Rasians said that we liked the same book series then proceeded to explain it to everybody. All's well that ends well. I didn't end up with a body count. That's all that matters.
Never
Again
Volunteer
Yourself
Damn I missed everything.......I keep forgetting about the internet.
I keep forgetting about the internet.I am starting to plan to kid nap you or run away over there
Yeah, it's hard to harass them when they are not hereAre you saying you aren't up for a challenge?
*keeps a light on for GW because*
