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.

We just received our first phone call from our daughter, Jessica.  She is on Ship 09/202.  She is doing great.  Said she was one of the top 20 recruits in her division of 70.  She said she mailed out her first letter to us today.  We sent her 7.  Great to have communication.

Congratulations to this week's Captain's Cup winners! Taking top honors for the non-integrated (all-male) divisions was Div. 813, and taking top honors for the integrated (male-female) divisions was Div. 927.

Captain's Cup is a fun, friendly athletic competition held between the divisions on the Saturday prior to their graduation. Events include basketball, volleyball, tug-of-war, relay races and more.

We live West of St. Charles and we are going to the game.  I just ordered the tickets in fact. My son started DEP in Oct. 2011.  He is anxious to get this show on the road!
