Well, as of today I have not received anything from Jon, except some really bad pictures of buildings (somewhere in Japan, and at night where there was nothing you could see) and a picture of a girl without a name.
So far, I have sent him two packages and about 12 letters and a 900 minute phone card to call me with. I imagine he will never call here so I am just leaving this one where it is.
At least he listened to me when I told him to go to Corpmen school. As of now, he has finished his schooling and is stationed in Yokosuka Japan. I would love to be there myself. I have one more package to send him so I will see how things go. Maybe he will actually call me but I am not holding my breath.
Hey! At least he sent me half an email saying he received the phone card. That is at least something. I know he has some sort of Internet access. The messages say they are coming from his yahoo account. With that, (Jon, listen up here) you can always send an instant message from anywhere. 
By the way, In case you didn't know, you can use the web messenger from any browser by clicking on the link here. I am nearly always online and have the instant messenger running (another thing to read and listen to Jon) so even if I am not there, I will get what ever message sent the next time I sit down at the computer. Pretty neat if you ask me.
I just hope he is doing OK since he won't write and the emails are rather haphazard.
