Oh....I feel so bad for you. It's not the cadets fault. They did not give wrong addresses; there was a disconnect between Maxwell and the US post office in Montgomery. I resent, in a big envelope, all the letters that were returned in their original envelops as did other families. That way she...

Have a wonderful and safe trip; just know it will be an amazing event. So sorry we can't make it down and are very much looking forward to see our DD in Boston on Friday!! Her 5 siblings can't wait to see their big sister!! If you see our DD, Mariella, give her a big hug from all of us!!

I think you are right Pima. When we contacted our DD's Detachment and spoke with the commander there, he did some digging and found that indeed the initial sort was done at the USPS. I recommend to everyone reading this who has had a problem to contact your child's detachment and file a...

Our second, and probably the last letter we will receive, found her in very good spirits. We are grateful for that.

Yes I think so too! My daughter attends Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester MA. I am sure that they are good friends by now...at least I hope so!

My DD is a 4year AFROTC scholarship recipient and is currently at field training. The contract she signed stated she would be paid for field training. So does this mean that they do not have to keep their end of the bargain? If so I don't understand how they can just decide to change their end...

Received this info re: 2014 FIELD TRAINING GRADUATION PURPOSE: Field Training Graduation factors impacting cadets and family members DISCUSSION: - Graduation will take place from approximately 0900-1200. The parade starts at 1000. -- Max 1: 12 Jun -- Max 2: 26...

Anybody attending Max 5 graduation at Camp Shelby...thinking of driving down but it's a 1200 mil adventure one way.

New information...We did some investigation and it seems as though the initial sort is done at the US post office in Montgomery and they are the ones who hold and send back the mail...at least this is what we were told. So whatever instructions were at the PO were incorrect. I am wondering if...

That is exactly what happened to us. My DD had originally said to put FTU 5 but just before her phone was taken away she called and said put FTU 2....I re mailed every letter with both FTU 2, FLT Delta and Max 5...I sure hope this gets to her. It seems to me that there is enough identifying...

Spoke too soon...got 4 letters back today:frown: Will readdress with Max 5

Got our first letter from our DD. Written over a few days starting at TD3. It was mailed just this past Friday the 25th. Basically needs LOTS of encouragement, having a rough time. The pressure is enormous...has a bit of a sense of humor, not much mind you. Hasn't shown up on our door step yet...

No returned mail yet...perhaps that is a good sign.:smile:

Thanks, good advice; did you have any issues with the address?? FTU 4 vs FTU2 etc.?

Our DD had originally given us the FTU 5 part of the address and told us to wait for a call regarding her FLT. Then when my DD was on the bus headed to Maxwell last Wednesday she called and said her phone was about to be taken away and that the FTU was 2 NOT 5 like she had originally given us...
