Short answer - nope, no care packages in boot camp, just letters. Small pictures are generally ok too.
Long answer - for a while, Operation Homefront was providing care packages for recruits. I'm not sure if this program is still going on. While generally families cannot send anything other than letters and small photographs, *if* a recruit specifically asks for something (like shoe insoles) you can send it because (in theory) they have permission to receive it. But don't try to sneak anything else into the package. |

While I was there we never heard of Operation Homefront. That might be a holiday thing now or it was phased out. I was also there like a year and a half ago though so who knows. We did however get a large box of candy sent to our division though because one of the recruit's father was an admiral and had some leeway I guess

generally anything you send for them, the RDC's will enjoy for themselves.

 The RDCs threw the box away after a few cookies. The guy ended up fishing through their garbage at night to eat a cookie! |
