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.
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.

My son is with Ship 6 Division 294. I am counting down until graduation on August 26th. I can't wait to see his pictures and most of all see him at graduation. He has been made Port Watch Leader. He told me he will be one of the first ones I see at graduation. I am so beyond proud as I am sure many of you are of your sailors. Anyone attending graduation, I am that mom with tears of pride, joy, and a whole ball of emotions.

My daughter left for bootcamp July 13 2016. We got the "I'm here" call the first night and about a week after we got the box of clothes but no letter or address for her. Our daughter was supposed to fly out of laguardia airport on July 13. Her group of about 12 were delayed and flew out on July 14th. Anyone out there that could be in this group?
Has anyone gotten a call?
