Phone Cards for Bootcamp.
So I have been really confused about getting a phone card. I have also saw that you can sign up for penny talk accounts. So I was wondering what is the better thing to get a phone card or penny talk?

When my mom was on Navy4Moms, there's this guy... I think his name is Recruit Man. I believe he gives out free phone cards... well not necessarily phone cards but its a sheet with a number to call and a code to press in when you do and BAM! They work! I went to bootcamp with quite a few of them... Maybe if you go on Navy4Moms website or facebook and ask around you can find him

Due to the fact that we can't have cell phones after we make our first phone call, when we arrive at boot camp, will i need to bring a phone card to boot camp so that i can call home after making it through battlestations?

Yes, you should bring a phone card with you.
You will probably get 2-3 other phone calls too.

Anywhere from about 5 to 45 minutes. They're additional calls that your company earns.
