Honestly, they can send you any color they want! There was a guy in my division who's girlfriend literally sent him a different color envelope each time lol. And yes you can receive packages, but not much of the stuff you can keep because nine times out of ten they are going to send the wrong things. Also keep in mind if you have a bunch of stuff that you can have in boot sent to you, you'll still have to fit it all in your A and B drawer (personal drawer where you put everything in that doesn't go in your rack). And also, we had a ton of guys who got birthday cards (I even made one for my wife and had the guys sign it before I sent it out) don't believe any of the stories you hear about "ice cream parties" or how the RDC's will make you read it out loud. Not a whisper of that happened while I was there (: Oh and I should mention that you do have to show the RDC's your pictures you get sent to you! So make sure that you let everyone know to not send anything they wouldn't want their grandmother to see! I hope this helped (:
