No More "Sailor in a Box" - From RTC- Posted 5 Sept 2019


Attention families and friends of RTC: Previously, upon arrival to boot camp, recruits would box up their civilian belongings and ship it to their choice of destination. Our new procedure now has those boxes being stored locally and will be returned to the recruits the day before graduation. The new procedure went into effect this week beginning with Div. 409 in Training Group 52.

We talk about Holiday Routine at Boot Camp - here's the skinny

Sunday/Holiday Routine allows recruits to attend religious services and observe Federal holidays. From 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. recruits are able to: attend religious services, read and study, hygiene, perform uniform upkeep, write and read letters, or clean their rack and personal locker.

Important RTC/PIR Changes

RTC is making important changes to polices regarding PIR Guest Access as well as Bag Checks and Restriction Policies. Take the time to read thru these and be prepared when you head to Great Lakes for PIR.

I think it sucks that they didn't let them call home for Christmas. I think the Navy forgets that those calls are important for families, too. And it is the families that give them the support.

We got our first letter from James today. Sounds good. Failed his first swim qual. and so lost his staff job. I mentioned that he had a single call to get info for his security clearance, and was being prodded by a crusty old fart who had had his compassion shot away to make him hurry. As it happens, James was in charge of the prodding to make everyone else hurry up.

We got a 30 minute phone call today from Rose. It was really great to hear from her. She sounds really good. She passed her swim test but is a little worried about how she did on her first PFA. She has a big test coming up on Monday but doesn't seem terribly worried about it. She took all of her division mates who wanted to go to Mass for Christmas Eve. It was nice.
So far, so good!
