Advice for boot camp
I received a comment as follows: “We have a family friend (one of our sons’ buddies) who will be joining the Navy next month. He is a great young man – a solid Christian and very driven in whatever he sets his focus on. I wondered if you might ask your Navy daughter what items she wished she had had or were useful when she went off to boot camp? Or if not practical during basic, what sorts of things would be good for a care box later when he is deployed or in special training? (I believe he is going “nuclear reactor school” to learn how to maintain the power plants on large aircraft carriers and/or subs.) Any feedback would be most appreciated! Best Regards, TimfromOhio”
The photo above is a screenshot from Younger Daughter’s boot camp graduation in 2017. I also put up a blog post about the things recruits were restricted to bringing when going to boot camp (here).
Anyway, I sent the query from “TimfromOhio” to Younger Daughter, and this is her response:
“Don’t send anything while he’s in boot camp, except letters – care packages will get him in trouble. He’ll be in school for a long time, so he won’t really need much since he’ll be at a shore command, but nice socks are always a plus, homemade snacks, etc. I’d say maybe a nice boot camp graduation gift like a watch or a wallet, something small that he can take with him while he travels.”
Oh, and I remember Younger Daughter saying when she got her penicillin shot in boot camp, she spent some time scooting around on her rear end, sort of rubbing it in. Apparently it’s a lot more painful if you don’t do this. (Further advice along these lines can be found online at various forums, apparently.)
Hope this helps!
