Ok so i leave for bootcamp in a couple weeks, and i wanted to know how long will it be before my family can get my address to write me at bootcamp? Will i be able to provide this info on my first call home? Or will they have to wait until i write them first?

You'll send a packet of information (including your address) home in the first couple days.

It generally takes about 2 weeks for mail to start flowing regularly.

Two days after you ship your recruiter will have all your information, so just leave his/her number with your family so they contact them. And like Guppy said, you won't really start 'getting' mail until about two weeks in.

Do not use the recruiters address they give you .. wait about 10 days for the official form. Sometimes they get moved in BC and the recruiters don't get the update and that mail is lost .. As soon as you leave for BC family can start writing, and as soon as they get official letter they can mail them all .. Just number them Hope this helps
