Care packages

We actually had people that received hygiene supplies, but in general, nothing is really permitted. I remember one kid in our division received a Navy Seals action figure and got picked on by the RDCs a lot. Lol.

In short, if you're unsure about something ask your recruit to ask the RDCs, but try to limit it down to letters. They might give him a hard time about asking something, but at least he asked, and he'll probably receive an answer one way or another.

It really depends on the RDC's, but generally hygiene supplies and photos are the only ones I saw people get away with. A bunch of females in my division got hygiene supplies and make-up sent. One girl got a box of candy and a teddy bear sent for valentines. Our petty officers let her keep the teddy (beanie-baby sized) in her A/B drawer, told her to shove some candy in her mouth before chief saw and then kept the rest in the fishbowl. They brought it out on valentines day and shared it with the division. I got a box of hygiene supplies that my mom packed with newspaper articles she thought I'd like so I got to read them after taps lol
