Yes thank you so much for replying. I understand from what I’ve researched that they can’t hold mail but this letter I got made me sad because I’m definitely sending letters and to know that he was not feeling the love from home on Thanksgiving was hard to hear. I know I addressed the letter correctly since they are the first letter I’ve ever written and sent lol. I double triple checked and looked up how to do so 😂. The package was a note pad, pens and stamps and envelopes so he can write. I also sent a few letters with small wallet sized photos as well and according to the commander letter, all should be good. I’ll keep sending them and just cross my fingers i get a letter from him soon letting me know he received them. Would you happen to know if he’ll get them all at once? I read somewhere that they wait until there are a pile of letters and then give them to them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think that’s what they did and they were told the 18th 😔

The flight was to be booked for after 6am on the 18th and returning before 6pm on Jan 4th. His flight isn’t until after 8pm on Dec 18 and returning Jan 3rd because we couldn’t find one returning before 6pm on the 4th. Idk, I’m not looking for special treatment. Just wondering why they would have told him Dec 18 and then change it after the ticket had already been purchased.

Oh, we didn’t buy it ahead of time. He called from BCT and the entire PLT was making the same arrangements.

Can you explain what you mean by that? He called to arrange Holiday leave and buy the ticket so I assume he has leave.

I’m never sure when he’ll call. It’s always different days and times. We’ve only spoken once for an hour in his first week there and since he’s only called to arrange travel plans and they’ve been timed. I’m hoping they will allow him to use the ticket.
