You might call me a "daring mom"...my son was at boot during the holidays...I asked him the offical name of one of his RDC's..what I did was send a big package addresed to the RDC with over 100 candy canes, and blank Christmas cards...with a note in it asking to please if possible to give the recruits a candy cane and anyone who wished to send a Christmas card home to hand them out...It worked...my son sent me one of the cards...and I found out they wer given candy canes on Chritmas morning! Not sure if that would work now or not...as this was 8 years ago!
