Boot camp phone policy

Generally you will get the "I arrived" call..in many cases it is up to your RDC if you get more..some are earned. There is no real "policy" on how many calls you MIGHT get to make.

Graduated 6 weeks ago. We got 4 I think and got to go to rookie heaven a few days before grad. Definitely not one every week. After week three or so, we didn't get our next one til after battle stations. Mail is like Christmas!

Good to know, thanks for the info. Looks like I will be there on Christmas, hopefully I'll get mail on Christmas to make it even more Christmas-ie.

You might call me a "daring mom"...my son was at boot during the holidays...I asked him the offical name of one of his RDC's..what I did was send a big package addresed to the RDC with over 100 candy canes, and blank Christmas cards...with a note in it asking to please if possible to give the recruits a candy cane and anyone who wished to send a Christmas card home to hand them out...It worked...my son sent me one of the cards...and I found out they wer given candy canes on Chritmas morning! Not sure if that would work now or not...as this was 8 years ago!
