new boot camp phone policy

cakers00 · 02-10-2013, 03:36 PM

did your son say that it is new or is he calling for a specific purpose like information for a security clearance? I'm leaving in April and I honestly do not want the opportunity to call that often, would take my mind off my training and the reason I am there.

This is true. I just graduated this past Friday and my graduating class was the last one under the old policy. Every div starting from 101 will get a call weekly.

Does that mean we get to keep our cell phones with us instead of shipping it home?

Sounds good at first but when I really think about it, isn't that the point of bootcamp? Going through tough times, secluded and trained to be salior? Knowing I had that one phone call at the end would of pushed me harder. Plus knowing info through letters wouldn't be as sweet.

Yeah theres no way i will call weekly. This is absolutely stupid. They keep going easier and easier on us at bootcamp making it a complete joke. If the Marines had Rescue Swimming for females then you know where my butt would be.
