Eye In The Sky said:If I may...a suggestion? If you think it would be something she would like...before you go, go to your post office, buy some stamps and buy a few of those express-post envelopes that you can fit 'little-somethings' in..say big enough to fit something the size of a folded t-shirt into...the pre-paid kinda ones. Take them with you. (saves you the PITA of getting them when you are busy on course...which is most of the time). When you are at the CANEX in the MEGA, you will see they have little things you can send back to her...key chains, t-shirts, etc that have CFLRS, CF, Air Force type logo's on them. Pick some up when you are there initially, weekly, whenever. You'll have the envelopes already. Once a week or 2 weeks or whenever you feel the need to (and you will), you can slip them in an express-post envelope, with a little "thinking of you/love you" note/letter, drop them in the "cart" with the outgoing mail that the CPC will deliver to the Course Duty/Marching NCO daily. Also, you might feel the need to 'write letters' to her, but sometimes you just won't have the time. In the CANEX, there is a rack (it used to be in front of the cashier counter) filled with postcards that have CFLRS type pictures on them; buy 6, 8, 10 whatever. You can write enough to fill up a postcard in what...3 minutes? (You've already bought the stamps and have them in your personal drawer in your locker ) She'll get a different one everytime...there's enough of them you can do that...(not every week will be one where you can send them...you'll be in Farn-wright some of it...) and will be tickled pink about it IMO. Talkin' on the cell/phone is one thing...gettin' something in the mail from "mommy"? Priceless!
You, my man, are a GENIUS! Those are awesome suggestions, and I am definitely going to take your advice! Thank you!
