Gift Letter 2002-2025 Form

After clearing SSB - - - they say that you have been ‘recommended for selection’ to the appropriate course/branch etc. They don’t tell you your score or your ranking.The next step is medicals. You are ‘checked’ thoroughly by the doctors and the tests include X-rays, ECG, blood & urine tests plus many others. Although these doctors are highly qualified, they won’t treat you for any of the ailments that they notice - - - they only see whether you fit the standards that have been specified. On many cases, they might even tell you to get some treatment for some problem that they have noticed, which you will have to do at your cost.The normal minimum is two days for the medicals and it could even extend to 5 days. At the end, you are either declared ‘fit’ or probably ‘fit with certain limitations & conditions’ or probably ‘unfit’. If you have been found unfit, you will be given a chance to go for an appeal medicals at another location. If the second medical board also finds you unfit, your name gets ‘stuck-off’ from the list of recommended candidates. The conditionally fit candidates will have to fulfill the specifications given to them, which probably could only be a filling of the tooth. There could be a repeat medicals for such guys.A list of all medically fit candidates is prepared based on the marks they scored during SSB. In certain circumstances, they could also add your marks in the original qualifying examination like NDA or CDSE or whatever. Depending on the vacancies available, those from the top of the list are called to join up for training.

Although USPS began receiving letters addressed to Santa Claus more than 100 years ago, it wasn’t until 1912 that Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized postal employees in New York City to respond to the letters, and invited the people of New York to join in, through a program that came to be known locally as “Letters to Santa.”Today, the popular holiday program is known nationwide as “Letters to Santa.” The exception is New York City, where the city’s own “Operation Santa,” the largest in the country, responds to more than 500,000 letters each year. Thousands of volunteers work with Post Offices to respond to letters from children of all ages listing their holiday wishes.Here are the Guidelines of this holiday program:USPS has a policy for “adopting” children’s letters addressed to Santa designed to protect their privacy. Individuals who would like to adopt letters are asked to do so in person, present valid photo identification and fill out a form that includes the list of letters they are adopting.Here’s how it works. A person wishing to adopt a letter can go to a Post Office, select one or more letters to take with them and sign the form. The child’s address on the envelope will have been blocked out and the letter assigned a number.After the individual fulfills the child’s wishes with a gift, he or she returns with the letter and gift to the same Post Office and pays the postage for the package. A postal employee will match the number on the letter with the child’s address, apply a label to it and put the package in the mailstream.Letters to Santa

Back in 1991, before Ancestry dot com was a thing, I got interested in genealogy… my family’s, in particular. So, I set out on a mission to find out all I could, and put together a family tree. Less than two years after the World Wide Web was created (aka: WWW). So, I wasn’t really on the internet yet. I had to do it old skool; although I did use a computer to draw the actual “tree”, as there were no genealogical tree templates that I knew of, yet. I sent out a form letter to every single person I knew, who was even remotely related to me. I even had to take a quick crash course in Russian Cyrillic, so that I could communicate with my relatives behind the Iron Curtain (which was half of them, in various countries). The curtain fell the following year, which made communication much easier, but at the time, I wasn’t even sure if any of my correspondence would get there and back. Amazingly, it all did. I sent out these form letters with pre-drawn, empty “trees”, for everyone to fill out. I also included a self-addressed stamped envelope, to make things as easy as possible for everyone.By the autumn of that year, I had received nearly all my templates back, all filled out as best as everyone could manage. Then began the task of making sense out of all of them, and compiling them into one massive tree. I ended up with nearly 600 people to list. For every person, I listed 6 bits of information: Name, place & year of birth, place & year of death, and their occupation. It took me about 6 months, but by Christmas, I had a surprisingly full family tree. I printed these all out on 17″ x 24″ sheets of parchment, rolled them up into scrolls, and handed them out to everybody as Christmas gifts. It was a big hit, as no one had ever seen the big picture yet. This is my Pociask Family Tree:This was in 1991, so I suggested everyone add to their branches by hand, as the years go by. By now, there are probably another 100 or more kids and grand-kids born. But that’s me, in the lower-right corner, above the block of text. I drew a chain of heavy links around the whole thing to signify that we were all linked together.The furthest back I got for my lineage was 1796, in Prussia. My great-great-great grandfather, with the last name of Busz, was born there. This part of Prussia had previously been part of the Polish Kingdom, and afterwards, once again became part of Poland after WWII. They eventually moved to the Kingdom of Bohemia, which became Czechoslovakia. My four grandparent's lineages basically hailed from 4 places: Prussia/Bohemia, Ukraine, and two from southern Poland, in the mountains. So… I am pretty much Prussian/Bohemian/Ukrainian/Polish. The late 1700’s was as far as I could get back for my family. My daughter, on the other hand, through her mom, I could trace back through Stephen Austin, one of the founders of Texas, and then all the way back to Mary Queen of Scots.As far as my family… they were refugees after WWII. They lost everything there, and both my father, and my mother came to America as Displaced Persons, although they came separately. My father alone, and my mother with her parents and 9 siblings. This is my grandfather’s “Reiseausweis” or Travel ID Card for the voyage from post-WWII Germany, to NYC in September of 1952:And here is the ship they came over on, the USS A.W. Greely, that was named after a US General, Polar explorer, and Medal of Honor winner:This ship was in service from 1944, all the way to 1986. It had a pretty good run, and was an important ship, as it brought my family to America! They all came here under the sponsorship of a farmer near Buffalo, NY who would house and feed them in return for a couple years of what was basically indentured servitude on his farm, picking lettuce, strawberries and all of that kind of stuff that many migrant workers from Mexico and Central America do today.So… how far back do I have to go in my family tree before I get to someone whose first language was not English?Well… that would be me!I didn’t really learn English until I went to kindergarten in Buffalo, NY. We were a bi-lingual family. Actually, tri-lingual, unbeknownst to me. You see, my grandmother only spoke Czech, while everyone else spoke Polish. Somehow, I spoke in Czech to my grandmother and Polish to everyone else, without even knowing it! Yeah, I didn’t realize that until I was in my teens. That was kind of a weird revelation.So… yeah, there’s that.

Before we go into the details on how European and East Asian calligraphy differ, we should note one major difference in them: in Europe, calligraphy is traditionally considered a means, while in East Asia, it’s an art. Calligraphy in the West was mostly used to write beautiful letters, invitations, books, but in the East, it was deemed to have value in itself. People used to give a page of calligraphy of famous calligraphy artists as valued gifts and presents.So what’s one aspect of East Asian calligraphy that’s not often seen in European calligraphy?Empty Space.European calligraphy also has a concept of empty space called ‘negative space’, but this mainly refers to the space around the letters. On the other hand, East Asian calligraphy actually prizes the use of empty space, referring to ‘the beauty of emptiness’ (여백의 미).*Korean*Japanese*ChineseWhat it aims is for viewers to use their creativity to fill the blank space on their own, while concentrating back onto the focus. It encourages viewers to look into the nothingness and contemplate on their own thoughts.At the same time, it seems to give a sense of conservative abstinence. Some might look at it and see the drawing as too stifling, too boring, and too dull, but this was the kind of conservatism prized by a lot of East Asian calligraphers. Note how all three have plenty of unused parts of the paper, and mainly stick to black and white. Although use of colour isn’t uncommon, it’s often used sparingly so that the colours don’t take away from the quiet self-restraint of the calligraphy.Another thing to be noted is that East Asian calligraphy was more apt to draw pictures to balance out the letters. Note the picture of the Korean calligraphy below, which was drawn by my Grand-aunt.*Korean*Japanese*ChineseNote again the plentiful use of empty space and the muted colours. While the picture is used, in the end, the picture’s role is to enhance the writing, often a poem or short phrase, instead of the other way around.The drawings are mostly those of nature. Bamboo, Grass, Birds, Flowers, Water are common themes, as well as simplified forms of people.This highly contrasts with European calligraphy, which seems a bit more bold and colourful.Although pictures are used in some cases, the pictures serve as a separate art in itself than an extension of the calligraphy as it is in the case of East Asian calligraphy. Often, the pictures draw more attention than the letters themselves and are thus bold and forward.I find this highly interesting because the difference in calligraphy seems to reflect on the difference in culture - the more reserved, self-reflective East Asian culture and the bolder, individualistic European culture.

I got my first pen pals more than 3 decades ago in 1987 when I was 12 years old.They were two girls my own age named Karina and Gunn who was attending the same scout-camp I was, but lived in a different town from me. We got along well in the week we spent at camp, and decided to stay in touch as pen pals after that.About 4 years later, when I was 16, a (different) girl who was my penpal at first became my first serious girlfriend. We lived around 100km apart, so our relationship consisted of piles and piles of letters — plus visits in weekends and vacations. Letters were on paper back then, and our correspondence on a near-daily basis became so well-known to the local postman that after a couple years of that I once as a joke addressed a letter to her simply by writing on the envelope: “Dear Postman! You know what to do with this!” — It worked, she received the letter 2 days later with the correct address penciled in by the postman.Three guesses as to how I met the woman who’s now been my wife for 14 happy years. (You got it right in one guess — good job!)It’s safe to say that having pen pals has been an important part of my life.No, Facebook has certainly not replaced letters for me. Email has. I always cared about the actual content of the conversation more than about the physical pieces of paper, and email is quick, convenient and free.My most active pen pal at the moment is a woman from the UK that I first met here on Quora about 5 years ago and that became my pen pal in January 2017. Since then we’ve sent 105 letters to each other, or about one every 5 days on the average. (that’s in sum total, so each of us has written approximately one letter every 10 days)It’s a different type of conversation, and a different way of getting to know someone for sure. I still love it, for all the same reasons I loved it back in 1987, and I reckon it’s very likely that I’ll continue to have pen pals for as long as I’m physically and intellectually able to.
