<p>She cannot receive packages while in boot camp. Do not send a package. They can only receive letters. My sailor asked that they be in plain white envelopes. He did not want to draw any attention to himself.</p>

<p>Thank you, she said they have permission. She just didn't tell me in the letter how to send it. I was worried by the time that I wrote her back asking, it would be too late. </p>

<p>Thank you, Katlin's Mom! My daughter is also in div 410! I received a letter from her today, and she said fire-fighting went well and they had good teamwork!</p>
<p>I'll go ahead and follow your suggestion. I read that the items she asked for were ok, just didn't know the best way to send it.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thank you, mrs76peeps. It is just for PIR, and she didn't ask for eyeliner. She didn't take any make-up with her. </p>

<p>The exception is that about 3 to 4 weeks before PIR <strong>you can send contacts and a small amount of solution</strong>. Writing "Contacts for PIR" in the corner of the small box or padded envelope is useful, but not necessary since your recruit will have to open the package in front of the RDC. <strong>You can also send a small amount of make-up for the females</strong> that will "blend with natural skin tone and enhance natural features."

<p>The exception is that about 3 to 4 weeks before PIR <strong>you can send contacts and a small amount of solution</strong>. Writing "Contacts for PIR" in the corner of the small box or padded envelope is useful, but not necessary since your recruit will have to open the package in front of the RDC. <strong>You can also send a small amount of make-up for the females</strong> that will "blend with natural skin tone and enhance natural features." The most often requested items are a small amount of foundation (some have specified the cake type) or face powder, 1 blush, 1 eye shadow in a neutral shade, 1 mascara (black or brown), 1 eyebrow/eyeliner pencil (black or brown), 1 lipstick in a conservative color, and 1 small hand lotion or face lotion. Females sometimes also get approval to have curling irons or flat irons sent (more often for 900 Divisions though), but do not send one unless your recruit specifically requests it. <strong>Most RDC’s allow band aids and strips of mole skin as well as stamps and calling cards and those will fit in a regular envelope and your recruit can also get them at the NEX, but DO NOT send cotton swabs even if your recruit asks you to, which s/he better not.</strong> If your recruit requests his/her Bible, then send it. Most regular Bibles will fit in the recruit’s A/B drawer, but a Study Bible is discouraged because it will take up too much room and will not leave room for other things. Some RDC's give permission for the recruits (usually females) to receive travel sized containers of some hygiene products that are not available at the NEX. Some recruits have also gotten permission to have shoe inserts sent, especially if they have had trouble with their feet or have had leg pain. Recruits are able to have watches at the RTC and may ask for one to be sent, especially if they have one of the <a href="http://navyformoms.ning.com/group/bootcampmoms/page/recruit-petty-officer-positions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Recruit Petty Officer Positions</a>. Unless the recruit specifies a specific watch, send an inexpensive plain black water resistant watch. If your recruit makes such a request, it will generally be very specific as to how to send the items and what to send and this will help you to know that you can send it since your recruit will have to open the package in front of the RDC and s/he would not make this request if s/he were going to get IT for it and/or the items were going to be tossed.</p>
