letters at bootcamp

Totally, 100% not true! My bunkmate got letters in rainbow colored envelopes with pictures drawn all over them and they never said a word to her. Some RDCs might give them a hard time, but most probably won't care. You can get cards and pictures, but they'll make you open those in front of the RDC to make sure the card isn't musical and the pictures aren't inappropriate.

The best bet would be an envelope that's not white, but not neon colored either. You WILL NOT get in trouble for a colored envelope, bit it ist always wise to call too much attention to yourself. After the first few days another recruit will be assigned to handle the mail so your RDC will only see packages and extra thick envelopes.

One thing she might want to do is send an extra blank envelope with every letter she sends you. You don't get a whole lot of stationary, and you will run out quickly.
