Bringing Pictures to Boot Camp

lilyputian · 07-06-2014, 02:18 PM

This falls under the "Miscellaneous Things I'm Neurotic About" category of information I'm after in my research, but I was wondering whether you're allowed to put up pictures at boot camp on the walls using tape, thumbtack (I don't mean the pins, I mean the sticky blue stuff we used way back in elementary school) etc. or if you just keep them shelved away somewhere.

Thanks again- you guys are the best.

I'm not sure you can even bring any.. Definitely cannot hang them. You might be able to keep them in your wallet in your a&b drawer.. But you wouldn't have regular access to them.

Your pictures will be kept in your A&B drawer.

You won't even have a wall in bootcamp, much less be allowed to decorate it.

Check out this thread for pictures and explanations of the setup of bootcamp.

I had a few taped inside my bible when I went. My wife and I wrote back and forth everyday, I got the most mail in bootcamp by FAR. In every letter she would have a few pictures of her and my daughter (it cost some money but was so worth it). I got so many letters and pictures I would have we send me a large envelope (with stamps already on it) every other week so that I could send some stuff back as I didn't have room for them all. It was great and helped me stay connected to what was going on back home.
