Can someone confirm that this is a legit "Care Package"

[PC]

Have anyone Purchased this in the past for your Sailor, I was thinking about it and wanted to make sure, it was legit.

A great way to say "Congratulations" to your recruit upon completion of the Navy's only boot camp and Pass-In-Review. This care package is filled with all the stuff to help your recruit enjoy his/her weekend liberty...which is well deserved!

The care package consists of a commemorative coin, a commemorative t-shirt, a movie pass (Ross Theater), a coupon book to local mall ($750 in savings), an pre-paid phone card (to call home), a homemade cookie, a candy bar and a personalize message to let your recruit know you are thinking of them on this proud day. All of this is nicely packaged in a gift box with the RTC Command Seal and your personalized message! The order deadline is the Thursday before the graduation day.

Only $19.99 (all major credit cards accepted)
Call and order yours today 1-888-317-6971.
Anytime Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm, central time.

What a cool idea! Hadn't heard of it but eager to learn if this is for real!

I tried to go back and delete what I posted, This is what I found out.


Each branch of the United States Armed Forces has a branch of MWR. MWR provides free and discounted recreation to military personnel and their families. Although the facilities provided vary from base to base, the types of services, facilities and programs provided can include fitness centers, pools, marinas, bowling centers, golf courses, restaurants, conference centers, catering, and programs for single sailors providing special events, access to internet, movies and video games.

PC & Holly unless they have changed the graduation packages since June 2008, this information about the care package is in the (MWR) brochure that has the list of hotels, restuarants etc...

this is legit.

[Jared's proud momma!]

I ordered it for my son's PIR on 12/24. He didn't receive it prior to or on his PIR. We figured it would follow him to A School, but it didn't.....I called them and they were VERY helpful and apologetic. It was delivered, but it is up to the RDC's to get it to them and apparently.....well, not going to go there...............ANYHOW, they got his new address from me and since he is still in GL, they hand delivered it to him!! It is legit! Just make sure your recruit does get it!

This is the care package listed on the brochure.

Yea, If I only read what I received in my grad pack then I would of known. LOL . He wasn't able to use the movie tickets because he ended up leaving a few days after grad, but he gave it to one of his shipmates that were staying in GL. So it was a nice gift. It was just a pain for him to go get (time wise). But he got it! Thank for the reply.

I plan to get one of those care packages, would you say it's something they really want. My son told me he does not need anything, I'm stuck with his words, but we want to give him a present/presents for grauation.

Thanks
