Getting Sent Items
Hey!
So I'm shipping out 20151209 and I was just wondering what the policy on getting sent stuff was? More particularly, I have a pair of running shoes that I'm very fond of and I've heard rumors (about other branches, at least) that I may be able to have someone at home send them to me once I can start receiving mail. Is there any truth in that, or is it merely just a rumor? Thanks! |

Running shoes are a definite no. You'll wear what's issued until graduation, at which point you can get whatever you like.
What you can get in the mail is somewhat dependent on your RDCs, who may be more or less lenient than the written rules. But don't count on getting more than letters and small, tasteful pictures. (On the other hand, they only check extra stuff slipped in, not the actual letter, which means anything printed on the same paper can probably get by. I got a lot of Sudoku puzzles sent to me this way. Use your discretion.)

I also would advise against trying to "get something in" while you're at boot. The consequences will most likely outweigh the benefits if caught and honestly there is very little you can't go without for a couple weeks. It's seriously such a short amount of time. /r CTT1
